The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation 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`. As we move on, we find a couple of cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals eaten by the nobility of those days. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
