Roman Recipes for the Modern Cook

‘A synthesis of ancient and modern cooking which allows the best aspects of Ancient Roman cooking to shine’.

Sally Grainger’s Roman Recipes for Modern Cooks offers 34 contemporary interpretations of recipes taken from Latin texts, presenting a perfect blend of ancient and modern cooking. Setting aside more outlandish Roman luxuries such as dormice, crane, or flamingo, these recipes are down-to-earth classics: Duck with Turnips, Cheesecake, Salsa Verde with Mullet, Kidneys Stuffed with Pesto, and Cumin and Honey-roasted Root Vegetables. Filled with historically inspired line drawings by award-winning illustrator Joana Avillez, Roman Recipes for Modern Cooks is a uniquely delightful cookbook with a time-honoured twist.
