The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Moving on, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the upper classes of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to a torrent in cookery books, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
