Well, I'm not the reviewer, but I'd start with the stuff mentioned in the
Florilegium:

There are a number of translations of Apicius out there.
Also, an interesting 'glossy' cookbook that has some recipes (I haven't
asked the cooks' list how good it is, is:
_The classical cookbook_, by Andrew Dalby and Sally Grainger.
(Los Angeles : J. Paul Getty Museum, c1996.)
