The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, we have some interesting books from the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of those days. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted a surge in publications on food, most of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Cinnamon Breakfast Cake recipe.
