The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting books dating from the fourteenth century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of the period. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
