The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Moving on, we have two books published in the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals cooked for the rich people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Chicken Pinwheels recipe.
