The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting books which were published in the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
