The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting books from the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the wealthy. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a torrent in recipe publications, many of which still exist in private libraries. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
