The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into antiquity, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting cookery books which were published in the 14th Century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted a surge in manuscripts on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
