The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two interesting books which appeared in the 1300s ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that time. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more money. |
