The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Later, there are a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an increase in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
