The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into the far past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, we have two interesting books published in the 1300s ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Apple Brandy Cake recipe.
