The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Moving on, we have a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of that time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a torrent in books on cookery, many of which are now in private libraries. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
