The History of Recipes

Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.

As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two interesting cookery books published in the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of those days.

In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private collections.

The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site.
