The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into the far past, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Moving on, there are two books published in the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the nobility of the period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
