The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes back into the far past, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, we have some recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, including basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices created an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Microwave Spiced Red Cabbage recipe.
