The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, these, ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find two books dating from the 14th Century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of that time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks were starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and disposable income. |
We hope you enjoy this Beef Caldereta (Beef Stewed In Tomato Sauce) recipe.
