The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Moving on, we find a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations caused an increase in cookery books, many of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Cool 'n Easy Easter Pie recipe.
