The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have some interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of the period. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Amanda's Angel Food Cake recipe.
