The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, we have two interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are not about the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of those days. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Ambrosia Rose' recipe.
