The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into distant history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two recipe books published in the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the nobility of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which are now in private cookery archives. The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Aunt Franny's Cheesecake recipe.
