Please remember that food history is a very complex subject.
Seldom is there clear information as to the first person to make a dish. It is good to consider yourself like a detective and do a lot of research and get clues. The main purpose of this project is to wet your appetite for food history and in many cases the serendipity as to how the food we eat came about.
