The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two interesting recipe books published in the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich and powerful of that time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private libraries. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Baked Turkey recipe.
