The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted a surge in recipe publications, some of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Pesto White Pizza recipe.
