The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, we find some interesting books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are nothing to do with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of the time. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
