The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Later, we find a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the wealthy. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a surge in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
