The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, generally, these old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of books published in the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the upper classes. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books were greatly in demand as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Armenian In Law Dessert recipe.
