printed it - any recipes Kellogg's printed is available by calling
1-800-962-1413. The girl I talked to there was very nice and sent me
a packet of recipes. I had asked for the original Rice Krispies treat
recipes - the one with butterscotch instead of marshmallo. Not only
did she find it and give me the recipe, she offered to send it with
other recipes. 3 working days later I got a large manilla envelope
FULL of recipes and recipe books. I think she photocopied everything
in the file for me as well as threw in some recipe books for good
measure. As I have time, I'll post the ones I have.

The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these old recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two books published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals served to the rich. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in recipe books, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
