The History of Recipes

Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into history, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the upper classes.

By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money.
