The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Moving on, we find two books which were published in the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food served to the rich people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
