The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into distant history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, there are two interesting books which were published in the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of the period. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money. |
