The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Moving on, there are a couple of interesting books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the rich. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of 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 Allo Bhoji recipe.
