The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, we have two interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a surge in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Apple & Green Pear Chutney recipe.
