The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting books which were published in the 1300s ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the East, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Beef Curry With Orzo recipe.
