The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, we find two books published in the 1300s ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab countries, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Pierogi (Peer O Gee) recipe.
