The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an outbreak in cookery books, some of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Best Ever Coconut Cake recipe.
