Billions of people have heard of and maybe a little obsessed with the ancient Romans, but few know the unique and delicious recipes that fueled an empire. From decadent feasts fit for an emperor to humble soldier’s rations, each dish in Cooking Ancient Rome has been carefully adapted for the modern kitchen, keeping the spirit of ancient Roman cuisine intact while making it accessible for today’s home cook.

• Aliter In Phoenicoptero, aka Roasted “Flamingo” (don't worry, it's chicken!) 
• The ancient ancestor to cheesecake, Savillum
• Mulsum, Roman dessert wine, to toast a decadent feast

Throughout the curated collection of recipes are gorgeous food photography and fascinating food history tidbits (from the chronicle of a loaf of bread from Pompeii frozen in time to Emperor Nero's obsession with leeks that bring the storied tale of the Roman empire to life and into your kitchen.
