The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes back into distant history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, there are two interesting books which date from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of the period. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
