The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, we find a couple of recipe books published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of that time. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. |
