The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of the time. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Peter's Scrimshaw Inn Rum Pie recipe.
