The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting recipe books from the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in recipe books, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
