The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some 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 having made drinkers feel blissful. Moving on, we have a couple of recipe books which date from the 1300s ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the wealthy. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
