The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed way back into history, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich and powerful of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a surge in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private collections. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
