The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some interesting books dating from the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich people of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Ada's Molasses Nut Bread recipe.
