The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Leslie's Cranberry Salad recipe.
