The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two interesting cookery books published in the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the upper classes of the time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Bear Stew A L'espagnole recipe.
