Tastes of Ancient Rome

Monday, December 18, 2006

Only one cookery book dating back to the Roman Empire still survives today: Apicius. Sally Grainger and Christopher Grocock tell us about these ancient Roman recipes--from a time long before tomatoes became a staple of Italian cuisine--and share some modern interpretations.

Apicius, a Critical Edition is available for purchase at amazon.com

Cooking Apicius: Roman Recipes for Today is available for purchase at amazon.com
