The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some books which appeared in the 14th Century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Baked Rice With Almonds recipe.
