The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move on, there were a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 14th Century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused a surge in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in academic collections. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Pebre (Chilean Hot Salsa) recipe.
