The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, these, early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some recipe books which appeared in the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Over the following few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
