The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be observed way back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are two interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of that time.

When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth.
