The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Moving on, there are two books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a torrent in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Basic Cabbage Soup recipe.
