The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich people of the time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in recipe books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Ancho Vinaigrette recipe.
