Description

The Roman Cookery Book. A Critical Translation of the Art of Cooking, by
Apicius, for use in the study and the kitchen. Barbara Flower & Elisabeth
Rosenbaum. Drawings by Katerina Wilczynski.
The history of the original dates back to Apicius, the Mrs. Beeton (English
Betty Crocker or Fannie Farmer) of 2000 years ago. Roman cookery is
practically unknown, but this not easy to find book will enable you to dine
like a Roman patrician and give new meaning to toga parties, if ever that
fad resurfaces. A well-written introduction and a section on Roman Kitchens
and Cooking Utensils. London: Harrap, 1980. 240 pages. Hardcover with a
dustjacket, both in near new condition. A reprint of the original first
published in 1958.
