The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, there were two interesting recipe books from the fourteenth century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the upper classes of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
