The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into ancient history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an increase in publications on food, most of which are now in private libraries. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Cajun Cannelloni recipe.
