The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the nobility of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
