The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into distant history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two interesting recipe books dating from the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of that time. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are starting to become popular due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
