The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, we find some recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of that time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in cookery books, many of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
