The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel blissful. Closer to modern times, there were some interesting books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that time. During the next few hundred years, the upper classes strove to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. |
