The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes back into the far past, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two interesting books dating from the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the period. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Annie Mae Jones' Sweet Potato Biscuits recipe.
