The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed way back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the nobility of the period. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were in high demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, more free time and having more money to spend. |
