The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
As we move on, we find two interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books are in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Carrot Stuffed Cabbage Leaves recipe.
