The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are a couple of cookery books from the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the upper classes of those days. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were highly popular due to more people being able to read, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
