The oldest cookbook dates back to 4,000 years ago. Four thousand years before food bloggers, fancy kitchens and glossy photo shoots, the Babylonian civilization already handed down menus for special occasions in detail. Of course, you could not count on Instagram, but only on clay tablets engraved with reed quills, which have come down to us. The oldest recipes in the world, prior to 1700 BC, were found in today's southern Iraq, in Larsa, the center of the ancient Mesopotamian civilization. They undoubtedly had a very sophisticated taste for people of 4,000 years ago, but enough for today's gourmet kitchens? Here are 115 ancient recipes from all around the world that can be enjoyed by everyone.
