The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two books from the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Colonial Bread Dak recipe.
