The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in 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 exhilarated. Moving on, we have two interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food served to the upper classes of that time. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. |
