Roman Recipes for Modern Cooks
Roman Recipes for Modern Cooks, published by Apartamento, is a fresh and flavorful invitation to explore the culinary legacy of Ancient Rome through a contemporary lens. Written by food historian Sally Grainger, this cookbook presents 34 refined yet accessible recipes drawn from Latin texts, reimagined for today’s kitchen.
Instead of indulging in the exotic fare often associated with Roman banquets—think dormice or flamingo—Grainger brings forward the grounded, everyday dishes of ancient times. Recipes like Duck with Turnips, Cheesecake, Salsa Verde with Mullet, and Cumin and Honey-roasted Root Vegetables reflect a timeless appeal and a surprising simplicity.
Accompanied by charming, historically inspired illustrations by Joana Avillez, Roman Recipes for Modern Cooks is both a culinary guide and a visual pleasure. It bridges millennia of cooking tradition with elegance and wit, making the ancient feel not only relevant but deliciously doable.
