A recipe is a set of instructions that describes how to prepare or make something, especially a culinary dish. It is also used in medicine or in information technology (user acceptance). A doctor will usually begin a prescription with recipe, usually abbreviated to Rx or an equivalent symbol.
The earliest known recipes date from approximately 1600 BC and come from an Akkadian tablet from southern Babylonia. There are also ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics depicting the preparation of food.
Many ancient Greek recipes are known. Mithaecus's cookbook was an early one, but most of it has been lost; Athenaeus quotes one short recipe in his Deipnosophistae. Athenaeus mentions many other cookbooks, all of them lost.
Roman recipes are known starting in the 2nd century BCE with Cato the Elder's De Agri Cultura. Many other authors of this period described eastern Mediterranean cooking in Greek and in Latin. Some Punic recipes are known in Greek and Latin translation.
The large collection of recipes conventionally entitled 'Apicius' appeared in the 4th or 5th century and is the only more or less complete surviving cookbook from the classical world. It lists the courses served in a meal as 'Gustatio' (appetizer), 'Primae Mensae' (main course) and 'Secundae Mensae' (dessert).
Hold me like I’m a baby
I will always be safe in your arms
All fell in and I am dreaming
I’m humming my way to the stars
I can reach the stars from where I am
I can reach the stars from where I am
Tell me, what is the recipe
Secret of eternity
No more love me or leave me
Not a year
Not three or four
Forever is in my heart
With you evermore
Stand by me I am your baby
You will always be safe in my arms
This season I don’t think about reasons
I just wanna lose it and wish upon a star
I can reach the stars from where I am
I can reach the stars from where I am
Tell me, what is the recipe
Secret of eternity
No more love me or leave me
Not a year
Not three or four
Forever is in my heart
With you evermore
Uuh uuh uuh uuh
Uuh, we can take it far
To the morning star
Thousand children laughing in your eyes
Uuh, you were made for me
Baby can’t you see
Endless sky is filled with butterflies
Tell me, what is the recipe
Secret of eternity
No more love me or leave me
Not a year
Not three or four
Forever is in my heart
With you evermore
Uuh uuh uuh uuh
