The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, these, old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two recipe books published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. The TV revolution brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
