The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find some books which date from the fourteenth century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of that time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books were greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
