The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of those days. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this New England Apple Peach Betty recipe.
