The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have some interesting books from the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of the time. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Apple Cheese Platz recipe.
