The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of those days. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
