The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 1300s : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an eruption in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Carrot Rice Soup recipe.
