What was the first cookbook published in English? What kind of recipes
did it have? Where can I find that kind of recipes online?

Hi tuily,

"The Forme of Cury" was the first cookbook published in English in 1390.

"The first English cookbook was written in 1390 by the cooks,
physicians and philosophers of Richard II. They produced 196 recipes
under the title of ?Forme of Cury?. Cury was the Old English word for
cooking derived from the French cuire ? to cook, boil or grill ? hence
cuisine."

"As early as 1390, a manuscript of the first English cookbook
appeared, entitled Forme of Cury ("art of cookery"), and it was
supposedly written by the master cook of King Richard II. Forme of
Cury was not actually printed as a book until 1780..."

"Then, in Richard II?s reign (1377-1399) the first real English
cookery book was written. Richard employed 200 cooks and they, plus
others including philosophers, produced a work with 196 recipes in
1390 called ?The Forme of Cury?. ?Cury? was the Old English word for
cooking derived from the French ?cuire? - to cook, boil, grill - hence
cuisine."
