The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting recipe books from the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the upper classes. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to an eruption in cookery books, some of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
