The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, we have a couple of cookery books dating from the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were highly popular due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
