The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into distant history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few 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 those who drank it feel `blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
