The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these early records were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of that time. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cook books are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
