The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, there are a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes of that time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an increase in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Salami recipe.
