The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, early records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Moving on, there were some recipe books dating from the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the period. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
