The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, there are some interesting books which were published in the 14th Century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Annie Mae Jones' Buttermilk Biscuits recipe.
