The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two books published in the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of the time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy land, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an increase in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Sangria (Syd) recipe.
