The History of Recipes

We can track the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, early recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.

Later, we find two interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of those days.

By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money.
