The History of Recipes

Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

Closer to modern times, there were two interesting recipe books from the fourteenth century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives.

Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site.
