The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced back into the far past, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two books which date from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an increase in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Caribbean Ginger Turkey recipe.
