The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two books published in the 14th Century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich people of the time. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
