The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, these, old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have a couple of interesting books published in the 1300s ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in publications on food, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chili Non Carne recipe.
