The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Moving on, we have a couple of books which date from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the nobility of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs was responsible for a torrent in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
