Roman Cookery or FamilyFun Super Snacks

Roman Cookery: Ancient Recipes for Modern Kitchens

Author: Mark Grant

Here is a complete range of traditional Roman dishes, such as olive oil bread flavored with cheese; herb purees; tuna wrapped in vine leaves; and nut cake made with hazelnuts, almonds, dates, and honey. Included are explanations of the cultural values Romans ascribed to food and the social context in which it was prepared and eaten. While most Roman cookbooks detail complex banquet food enjoyed by only a tiny social elite, this cookbook provides easily made recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that can be enjoyed by everyone.
