The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are some books from the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of that time. When we get to the 20th century, recipe books are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
We hope you enjoy this Brown Gravy recipe.
