The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of books from the fourteenth century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of those days. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books were starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
