The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an increase in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Chinese Chicken Corn Soup recipe.
