The History of Recipes

Experts have found proof that recipes existed far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting books which were published in the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the upper classes.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a surge in books on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private collections.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site.
