The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, we find some books dating from the 14th Century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an eruption in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Picadillo (Rice And Beef Hash_Filling) recipe.
