The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Moving on, we have two recipe books dating from the 14th Century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, some of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
