The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into antiquity, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of cookery books dating from the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the time. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books were highly popular due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
