The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of books published in the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
