The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions far back into history, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the wealthy. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an eruption in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
