The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of those days. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Antipasto Salad I recipe.
