The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Later, we find two recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the period. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
