The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into distant history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two recipe books from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an increase in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
