The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
As we move on, there were two interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the time. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
