your autoexec.bat and config.sys in another directory. I have a buncha
subdirectories in my path statement, but the autoexec.bat and

The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and dill. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books were increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
