The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later, there were a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
