The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into the far past, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, we find two interesting books which date from the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an explosion in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
