[Sca-cooks] World's Oldest Recipe Book?

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

Clearly the Apician cookbook is older than those cited so far.

However, Jean Bottero, a specialist in the ancient Middle East, 
published a translation of what appears to be the worlds oldest 
recipe book... several Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets from 1600 
BCE... a lot older.
