The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes back into history, in truth as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two interesting cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Peppers & Shrimp recipe.
