The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Closer to modern times, we find some books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
