The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Moving on, there are a couple of cookery books dating from the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich and powerful of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Applesauce Nut Bread recipe.
