The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later, we find some interesting books published in the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and powerful. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and spices created a torrent in publications on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
