The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two interesting books published in the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in recipe books, most of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
