The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into antiquity, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two books dating from the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices caused an increase in manuscripts on food, many of which still exist in academic collections. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Fudge Frosting recipe.
