Apicus (Latin- On the subject of Cooking)

August 31, 2023, 05:36 AM

My wife TJ picked these up at a used bookstore, have not spent a bunch of time reviewing but, there some interesting spins on lamb that I might delve into and any recipe that starts with " a slab of pork belly" gets my attention pretty quickly.

Evidently, Marcus Gavius Apicus put the original "book" together back when Tiberius ruled the Roman Empire

I will share more if/when I give some of these offerings a shot.....

Better stock up on Garum as the ancient Romans seemed to put it in or on everything.
