The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich people of the period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
