The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Moving on, we have two books dating from the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an eruption in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
