The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the fourteenth century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the nobility of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a surge in recipe publications, most of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Potato Dumplings recipe.
