The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, there are a couple of recipe books from the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the nobility of the period. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were highly popular due to more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more money. |
