The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting books from the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the upper classes of that time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks were in great demand, due to better eduction, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
