The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these old records were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.

Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of the time.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices prompted an explosion in recipe books, some of which are now in private cookery archives.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings 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, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site.
