The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, we find some recipe books which date from the 1300s - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich people of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an increase in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Brown Sugar Crisps recipe.
