The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that time. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Truffle Cake Supreme recipe.
