The History of Recipes

Experts have proved the existence of recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were some recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of the period.

When we get to the 1900s, cookery books are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more money.
