The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Later, there are two recipe books dating from the fourteenth century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in books on cooking, some of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Amanda's Baked Beans recipe.
