The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting recipe books published in the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of the time. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
