The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some ancient 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 making people feel wonderful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are some interesting books dating from the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
