The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking 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 were a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich and powerful of the period. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, 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 Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
