The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find some books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes. When we get to the 20th century, cook books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Fingers recipe.
