The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As we move on, we have two recipe books from the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the nobility of the period. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were highly popular due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Bean Stew (Santa Maria) recipe.
