The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into antiquity, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes created an increase in recipe publications, some of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Low Fat Alfredo Sauce recipe.
