The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later, there were some recipe books which date from the 1300s - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich and powerful of those days. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of the West competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money. |
