The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Moving on, we find some books which date from the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals eaten by the upper classes. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Banana Bread 3 recipe.
