The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
