The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` back into the far past, at least as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later, we have a couple of recipe books published in the fourteenth century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of that time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices created an outbreak in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chile Salsa (Hot Tomato Pepper Sauce) recipe.
