The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, there are some interesting books from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich people of those days. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications were greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, leisure time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Bok Choy & Shitake Mushrooms recipe.
