The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are a few tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move on, there were two recipe books published in the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the time. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books were highly popular as a result of better eduction, more spare time and disposable income. |
