The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel wonderful. Later, we find some interesting books which date from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of the time. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
