Classical Cookbook

---

"The Classical Cookbook" is the first to explore the cuisine and manners of the ancient Greece and Rome, from 750 BC to AD 450. This newly updated edition of the bestselling cookbook features fifty recipes from every strata of classical civilization, from wedding feasts and lavish banquets to street food and simple meals, alongside step-by-step adaptations for the modern cook. Each chapter gives an informative historical outline, and translations of the 50 original recipes are followed by a modernized version. Each recipe is placed in context alongside descriptions of household life and festivity from across the classical world, to conjure the tastes, smells, sights and sounds of daily life.
