The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track 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 early cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 wonderful and blissful. Moving on, there are a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of the period. During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications were highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
