The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of the time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in recipe publications, some of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
