The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some recipe books dating from the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the time. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
