The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later, there were a couple of books published in the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices led to a surge in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in private collections. The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Christmas Casserole recipe.
