The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of cookery books dating from the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the rich and wealthy people of those days. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for a surge in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Mediterranean Pizza recipe.
