The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, we find two recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the nobility of those days. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
