The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. When we get to the 1900s, cook books were in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Cinnamon Nut Coffee Cake recipe.
