What beverage dates back to 5th millienium and has some of the oldest recipes written in Summerian
Brewing methods Beer is produced through steeping a sugar source (commonly malted cereal grains) in water and then fermenting with yeast. Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archeological evidence suggests that this technique was used in ancient Egypt. Descriptions of various beer recipes can be found in Sumerian writings, some of the oldest known writing of any sort. Brewing is done in a brewery by a brewer, and the brewing industry is part of most western economies.
Vinidarius Vinidarius (fl. 5th century AD) was the purported compiler of a small collection of cooking recipes named "Apici excerpta a Vinidario". This preserved in a single 8th‑century uncial manuscript in Latin, claiming to be excerpts from the recipes of Apicius.
