The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of books published in the 14th Century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of that time. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this A 3 Day Marmalade recipe.
