Roman Recipes for Modern Cooks

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 Joanna Avillez, Roman Recipes for Modern Cooks is a uniquely delightful cookbook with a time-honoured twist.
