The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Moving on, there are two interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food cooked for the nobility of that period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created a surge in recipe publications, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Fudge Variations recipe.
