The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, we have two interesting books which date from the 14th Century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the wealthy. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Cheese Cookies recipe.
