The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As we move on, there were two recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the nobility of the time. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
