The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, there were some recipe books published in the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of that period. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income. |
