The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move on, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes of the time. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Chicken Fiesta recipe.
