The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two books which date from the 14th Century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich people of the time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chipotle Salsa recipe.
