The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.

Moving on, we have a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the period.

By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were in high demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income.
