The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an increase in cookery books, many of which still exist in academic collections. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Chip Cloud Cookies recipe.
