The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
As we move on, there were two interesting books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich people of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
