The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Moving on, we have a couple of interesting books dating from the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich and powerful of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an increase in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in academic collections. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chinese Shrimp Kababs recipe.
