The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, cook books were in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
