The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, these, ancient recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days.

When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income.
