The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into history, in fact as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two interesting books which were published in the 1300s : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich people of that period. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and being a little richer. |
