The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.

Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting books which date from the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the nobility of that period.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a torrent in recipe books, some of which are now in private collections.

Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site.
