The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move on, there were two interesting recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books were starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
We hope you enjoy this Pepper And Tomato Soup recipe.
