The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find two interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of the period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in manuscripts on food, many of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Citrus Stacks recipe.
