The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Later on, we have some books from the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of the time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted an increase in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this New England Boiled Dinner recipe.
