The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into the far past, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of the time. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
