The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals eaten by the nobility of those days. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
