5 BEST FREE COOKING RECIPE APPS FOR ANDROID

Basically, a recipe is an instructional manual or handbook which enumerates how to prepare, cook or make a dish (food). Shocking is the fact that culinary recipes or cookbooks have been around for quite a long time. 

The earliest mention of cookbooks (as this article will further make references to culinary or food recipes) came from a Southern Babylonian tablet of Akkadian origin dated as far back as 1600 B.C, ever since then many cookbooks have been discovered through history e.g ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics in the Valley of the Kings showing the preparation of food, Greek recipes compiled in a very early cookbook known as the 'Mithaecus' was also discovered, Roman recipes from around the 2nd Century BC were also discovered in Cato the Elder's incomplete cookbook called 'De Agri Cultura',

in the 4th century BCE a pretty large collection of recipes was written and called 'De re coquinaria', this served as a conventional handbook through many centuries and later got the name 'Apicius', the book is the only surviving complete cookbook from the ancient world. The Arabs also compiled their culinary recipes from the 14th century BC onward with Persian cookbooks like the Karnameh from the Safavid era which was produced around 1521 and became very popular in the Arab world

because it boasted of containing one of the largest collection of cooking instructions although many recipes in the book have not survived to see today, another book from the Arab world which was largely recognized was Nurollah Ashpaz's Madat Oi Hayat written in 1597, although it has survived to see today, it is not complete.

The coming of the modern day printing press in the 16th century saw the spread of information grow very fast and many cookbooks began to go into circulation firstly in England, then the Netherlands and then globally. By 1660 the royal families of Europe were competing in lavish banquets and cooks were in pretty high demand, making cookbooks very popular at the time and many have survived till today.

A massive turnaround began in the middle of the 20th century with the coming of  TV cook shows and TV cooks took the center stage globally while they churned out thousands of cookbooks which are now popular today. 

The Advent of the Android OS (which today stands as the most popular operating system) has seen a new wave of a more productive world. The Android operating system gives users the power to become more gadget-to-man fluid, interactive and ability to customize virtually anything onscreen.
