The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` way back into history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of interesting books which date from the 14th Century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Popcorn Drops recipe.
