The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two books published in the 14th Century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of that time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created a surge in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
