The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of interesting cookery books from the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Presto Potato Salad recipe.
