The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, there were some recipe books published in the 1300s ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the East, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs prompted a surge in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
