The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
