The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two books which appeared in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an increase in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Amanda's Baked Beans recipe.
