The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are some books from the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an eruption in books on cooking, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Caribbean Scones recipe.
