The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced back into antiquity, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an explosion in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in private collections. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
