SC - Epicious (sp?) and decedent roman feasts....

[maddie teller-kook]

Greetings..
Try to find a copy of "Tastes of Ancient Rome" by Ilaria Giacosa. I have
seen it in paperback at a few bookstores (Borders and BookStop are 2).
It has recipes by Apicius and Cato and an excellent section describing
how a Roman dinner is set up, dishes to serve, entertainment, etc.
