The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into history, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two interesting books dating from the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of those days. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Achot (Garlicky Farmer's Cheese With Walnuts) recipe.
