The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, there are a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful of the time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
