The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of that period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an outbreak in recipe publications, many of which still exist in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
