The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Moving on, there were a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
