The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Moving on, we find some interesting books published in the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an eruption in books on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
