The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, there are two books published in the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the nobility of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
