The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of the time. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money. |
