The History of Recipes

It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into the far past, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

Later, we have two interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of that time.

Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site.
