The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the nobility of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
