The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Moving on, we find some interesting books which date from the 14th Century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an explosion in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Apple Pork Curry recipe.
