The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later, we find two books dating from the fourteenth century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an increase in recipe publications, many of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chartreuse Cocktail recipe.
