The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Later on, there were a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 1300s - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in recipe books, some of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
