The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes back into history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move on, there are a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of the period. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Potato Dumplings recipe.
