The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Moving on, there were some recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an eruption in books on cooking, most of which are now in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
