I recently purchased the Mark Grant translation from the Food Heritage
Press:

	_ANTHIMUS: De obseruatione ciborum, ON THE OBSERVANCE OF FOODS_,
	Prospect Books, 1996.  ISBN 0907325 750

It also has the latin and english on opposite pages for comparison, along
with historical information and great notes.
