The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into history, at least as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

Closer to modern times, there were some interesting books published in the 1300s ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the nobility of that time.

Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices prompted an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading.
