Sally Grainger’s Roman Recipes for Modern Cooks is a new book from the publishers of Apartamento containing 34 contemporary interpretations of recipes taken from Latin texts, thus 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 unique cookbook with a time-honoured twist.
