The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later, we have some books which date from the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of that time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Cocoa Bourbon Balls recipe.
