The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient records were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that time. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
