The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are some interesting books published in the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices caused an explosion in cookery books, some of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Amaretto Brownies Supreme recipe.
