The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two interesting books published in the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books were in high demand, as a result of better eduction, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Brigitte's German Streusel Cake recipe.
