The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have some interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes created an increase in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
