The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into antiquity, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the nobility of that time. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
