The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in books on cookery, some of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Chicken Lucia recipe.
