When talking about food we can say many different things just because itis one of the human beings first necessities. With the pass of the time we have experimenting with it and as a result we had a really delicious combinations of tastes, flavours, shapes, ingredients, etc. (Gillespie, 2009) Says that Gastronomy is the art and science of good eating and drinking: a concept that extends outwards to embrace wider notions of tradition, culture, society and civilisation.On the next pages we are going to read about all the influences that the gastronomy had until now.

(Olver, 2011) When talking about Banquets and the first recipes wrote weshould give the credit to Mesopotamian civilizations around 1700 B.C.
