The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, there were two interesting recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices created a torrent in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
