The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two books from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich people of the time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
