The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, we find a couple of cookery books dating from the 1300s - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the nobility of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs led to a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
