The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich people of that time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs led to a surge in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
