The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Later, we have a couple of recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of the period. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Chicken Spaghetti Casserole recipe.
