The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found back into history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are a couple of cookery books which date from the 14th Century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of the period. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more free time and disposable income. |
We hope you enjoy this Keema Pimento (Beef With Green Pepper) recipe.
