De honesta voluptate et valetudine
1494 edition, printed in Venice
De honesta voluptate et valetudine (On honest indulgence and good health, often shortened to De honesta voluptate) was the first cookbook ever printed.[1] Written ca. 1465 by Bartolomeo Platina, it first appeared between 1470 and 1475 in Rome, and in 1475 in Venice. Written in Latin, it was largely a translation of recipes by Martino da Como from his Libro de Arte Coquinaria (ca. 1465).[2] The book was frequently reprinted over the next century, and translated in French, German and Italian.[3]
