Actually, we discussed various editions of Apicius cookbooks quite a lot
here. You might be interested in taking a look at this file in the
FOOD-BOOKS section of my Florilegium:
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (38K)  4/21/99    Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.

I would of course, be willing to consider adding any additional comments
or reviews that you might have.

For some info on garlic and period recipes, although I can't remember
if there are recipes from Apicius in here or not, take a look at this
file in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section:
garlic-msg        (30K)  7/27/99    Medieval use of garlic. Garlic storage.
