The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, there were some interesting books from the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of that period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a torrent in recipe books, many of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
