The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into ancient history, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two recipe books which date from the 1300s ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich people of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes created an outbreak in recipe books, some of which are now in academic 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 computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Paczki (Polish Doughnuts) recipe.
