The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Moving on, there were two books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs led to an explosion in books on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
