The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the upper classes of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an outbreak in publications on food, some of which are now in private collections. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Chicken Avocado Melt recipe.
