The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two books from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the nobility of that period. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are starting to become popular due to increased literacy, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Punch recipe.
