The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some interesting books which date from the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the nobility of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on food, some of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Carne Gisada Con Papas (Meat & Potatoes) recipe.
