So... the author lady works at her local Municipal Museum. The Romans called this Croatian county seat town Colonia Aurelia Cibalae, there remain buildings & parts of thermal baths in the downtown. Now known as Vinkovci. (Wiki, of course) The leading sponsors on the outside of the back cover appear to be official Tourist Bureaus... and what look like local merchants' logos, at least a couple of grocers?

Don't know how I managed it but did get a look at one point... very nice color illustrations, print is large & easy to read (I'm getting increasingly grumped about teeny-tiny print -- getting OOOOLD! ha-ha). All the attributions I did see in the text were to Apicius... there are a couple of urls to some ukans "all-the-Latin-texts" type site at the end of the bibliography, so she may have been working directly from the Latin texts and not any of the various English translations...

Thanks for this ref, JIM; it may be somewhat early for SCA period, but I'm also interested in late Roman.
