The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later, there are a couple of recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of that time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an increase in books on cooking, some of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
