The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Moving on, there are a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of those days. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books were highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Canning Pumpkins & Winter Squash (Cubed) recipe.
