RECIPES. “For centuries, however, most people were not literate and never wrote down cooking instructions. New cooks picked up knowledge by watching more experienced friends and family at work, in the kitchen or around the fire, through looking, listening, and tasting. Recipes, as a format and genre, only really blossomed in the 18th century, with the emergence of widespread literacy.”
