The History of Recipes

It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two recipe books published in the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals cooked for the rich people of that time.

Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an explosion in publications on food, many of which are now in private libraries.

The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site.
