The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into the far past, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have some recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an explosion in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Kosher Dill Pickles recipe.
