The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be found far back into distant history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

Moving on, there are some recipe books which were published in the 1300s ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of the period.

By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more money.
