Review: Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome (New Illustrated) [Kindle Edition] - An absolute waste of money, this is NOT in any way a translation of Apicus, there is not a single recipe in the book. deeply disappointed. In addition, the illustrations are totally unrelated and include pictures of sliced tomatoes and peanuts.

Great insight into roman culinary. highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The world's first cook book, accessible to all! *by A***R on 12 January 2017* As a historian and foodie, this book is essential to anyone interested in how Romans lived. It's literally one of the world's first cook books, and all the recipes work. Many of the recipes from Ancient Rome would form the standard European and middle-eastern repertoire of cooking up to the modern day. Ovis Apalus, for example, is deviled eggs (albeit, the Romans liked them a little more fishy, adding shrimp and fish sauce). The sausage recipes are easily recognized in the modern day as breakfast, Italian, and Salami. There is even a recipe that will astonish those of Scotch ancestry. Apparently, Apicius has a recipe for a dish that is nearly identical to modern-day haggis! This book will amuse, amaze, and satisfy your palate and stomach, as well as your mind, with accessible, exotic, and arguably accessible cuisine. The translation and adaptation of recipes is very well done. You need not worry about making your own garum, for example, a sauce made from fermented fish guts; many asian supermarkets carry bottled fish sauce that is made in much the same way, and tastes much the same, as well (Don't worry, it tastes like anchovies). We once used this book as the basis for a Roman Style toga party and feast. Everyone loved it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome - Tasting History: Explore the Past through 4,000 Years of Recipes (A Cookbook) - The Forme of Cury: A Roll of Ancient English Cookery Compiled (Forgotten Books) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/216645850-cooking-and-dining-in-imperial-rome](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/216645850-cooking-and-dining-in-imperial-rome) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
