The Classical Cookbook Book

The updated edition of this best-selling cookbook features a delicious collection of recipes from every strata of classical civilization, all accessible to the contemporary cook.

Pioneering the exploration of menus and manners of ancient Greece and Rome, The Classical Cookbook features adaptations of 49 sumptuous dishes. Sitting alongside sun-soaked recipes are rich illustrations of murals, marbles and mosaics, plus lively commentary painting a vibrant picture of everyday wining and dining in the ancient world. The Classical Cookbook will prove that we can still enjoy Terrine of Asparagus, Sweet Wine Cakes, Olive Relish or even Toronaean Shark.

    The major Roman culinary text, Apicius on Cookery, contains such dubious delicacies as larks tongue, sterile sows wombs, dormice; a plethora of birds, warblers, parrots, turtle doves, peacocks, flamingos; sea food such as sea urchins, porpoises, jellyfish. Other sources mention camel hoof and cockerel combs. They are all delightfully exotic and suit the stereotype of the decadent Roman gourmet who chose the most bizarre of foods because they were rare and expensive and fashionable, quite forgetting about taste. By contrast we have concentrated in this book on foods that are available in northern Europe and are worth the attention of a modern cook. These recipes deserve to be used and are intended to be used. (Sally Grainger).
