Amazing Cookbook and History Book

This book was so much more than I expected. It gave me an insight into Roman life and culture that no other book or TV show or documentary ever did.

And it contained great recipes. Both the original Roman version which was usually more difficult and a modern version. Some of the ancient versions made me think I would need at least 20 slaves in the kitchen to make it for me (like I suspect the Roman elite had who ate it) and other recipes seemed like something I would want to eat every day like the herbed goat cheese or the Ricotta cakes.

Great book

What a brilliant idea!

I have never seen a cookbook quite like this one… Recipes from ancient Rome, updated with substitutional modern day ingredients where applicable. I mainly got this because I am interested in history, but I also love cookbooks. So this one really caught my eye (and stomach). There are so many recipes, I couldn’t possibly try them all… But there’s great variety everything from appetizers to desserts and all in between. What a fun idea!

The Original Mediterranean Diet

I loved this culinary time travel manual, full of contemporary twists on ancient classics and classical twists on modern favourites. The instructions are clear and the recipes are historically informative. This is varied, healthy fare that evokes past glories. Eternal recipes from the Eternal City.

Unique cookbook

I've seen and used a lot of cookbooks and this is the first time I've seen one based on Ancient Rome. The book includes a brief history on cooking in ancient Rome and has a lot of recipes to choose from.

Well researched ancient cookbook

This is a well researched cook book with not only recipes from the time, then a modern version, but also gives a history lesson in the beginning.

Lots to Try

I've flipped through the recipes and found many that I can't wait to try. I like how there are both ancient and contemporary versions of the recipes.
