The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, these, old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some books which date from the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of those days. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an explosion in books on cooking, some of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Balls (M_C Tx) recipe.
