The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.

Closer to modern times, there were two recipe books dating from the 1300s - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an increase in recipe books, some of which still exist in private libraries.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this.
