The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient records were just simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, we have a couple of books which date from the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared for the upper classes. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
