The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later, there are two interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of the time. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more money. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Creams recipe.
