The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two books which date from the 1300s - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich people of those days. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in publications on food, most of which still exist in private collections. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Peppermint Stick Ice Cream recipe.
