The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, these, early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
As we move on, we have some interesting books which were published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an outbreak in recipe books, many of which are now in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
