The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Kentucky Pecan Pie recipe.
