The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have a couple of books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Chilled Yellow Pepper & White Bean Soup recipe.
