The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 wonderful. Moving on, we find a couple of recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of those days. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, 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, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are highly popular due to better eduction, more free time and disposable income. |
