The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Moving on, we have a couple of books from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the nobility of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which are now in private collections. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Blazing Cranberry Pie recipe.
