The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Moving on, we have a couple of books published in the 1300s - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of that period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are now in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this British Whiskey Chicken recipe.
