The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, there are two interesting recipe books from the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an outbreak in recipe books, some of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
