The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
As we move on, we have some recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an eruption in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Dietetic Melt Away Mints recipe.
