The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Closer to modern times, there were some books from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the upper classes of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an explosion in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us 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 everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Polly's Sugar Cream Pie recipe.
