The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, there were two interesting books which date from the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the nobility of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an eruption in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Low Cal Graham Crust recipe.
