The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into history, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, we find two recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of the period. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
