The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
As we move on, there were two interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food cooked for the rich people of that period. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Espresso Hazelnut Pie recipe.
