The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, we find a couple of interesting recipe books from the 1300s ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an explosion in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
