The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an increase in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Brown Rice & Lentil Stew (Vegan) recipe.
