The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, there are two recipe books from the 1300s ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of the time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices caused an increase in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
