The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of interesting books dating from the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books are in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
