The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed way back into the distant past, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, there are two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of the time. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
