The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, ancient cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find two interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of those days. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
