The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into antiquity, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of cookery books dating from the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the nobility of the time. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books are highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. |
