The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, there were a couple of recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Abigail Adams Apple Pan Dowdy recipe.
