The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
As we move on, there were two books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the nobility of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
