The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into history, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 14th Century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of the period. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications were in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income. |
