Description

Cooking Apicius Roman Recipes for Today brings together 64 recipes from the original text in a modern and accessible way. Sally Grainger's interpretations aim to recreate the Roman taste, including their love of garum, fermented fish sauce, which is similar to Asian-style fish sauces. Not all the recipes are luxurious dishes like lark's tongues or boar's bottoms; instead, they include more affordable options such as cucumber with mint dressing and roast lamb with coriander. The book also features other dishes that would have been within reach of a Roman household, like duck with turnip and almond and semolina pudding. With its focus on recreating ancient Roman cuisine, Cooking Apicius Roman Recipes for Today provides a unique insight into the food of the time.
