The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find some books which were published in the 1300s - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the indian curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an increase in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Congo Bars recipe.
