The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, we find some recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of that period. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books were in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. |
