The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into the far past, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two books published in the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books were starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Baked Cavatelli recipe.
