The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of the period. During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
