Max Miller approves: a 3,770yo Babylonian clay tablet written in Akkadian, containing the oldest known cooking recipes. The tablet includes 25 recipes for meat and veggie stews. (recipes inside!)
Bronze Age or earlier (Before 800 BCE)

Modern food blogs wish they had this level of longevity. No popups, no ads, just stew!
A Babylonian stew prepared by Tasting History if anyone wants to try out an updated recipe:

Table of the Gods is a similar channel specifically about recipes of ancient Mesopotamia. Very neat stuff, some of which I believe comes from this very tablet.
