Dear Jenne Heise,


One of the best sources, if not the best source, of information relating to Roman cuisine is Apicius' "De Re Coquinaria", published as a cookery manual in the 2nd Century AD.

One of our favorite publishers, Prospect Books, has gone Apicius crazy and has just sent us two new Apicius-related books. One is a fine new critical edition of the Latin text, with notes, introduction and English translation. The other is a reworking of Apicius' recipes for the modern kitchen. Details of both titles are given below.

Naturally, we think that both books should be ordered and we are encouraging this investment by offering the two together (which have a combined retail price of $99.95) for a paltry $75.00!

As a digestif to this feast of Apiciana, you may also wish to peruse this release from the New York Academy of Medicine, whose early medieval manuscript of Apicius has just been rebound:
