Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
2012 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is
an English translation of the oldest known cookbook in existence.
The book was originally written for professional cooks working in
Ancient Rome, and contains actual recipes presented in the form of
a cookbook. The work is translated with the intention of providing
an actual cookbook rather than as a scholarly translation of an
ancient text. Illustrated. Includes a critical review of the work,
a bibliography of early editions and a thorough index. The text is
organized in ten books which are arranged in a manner similar to a
modern cookbook: Epimeles - The Careful Housekeeper Sarcoptes - The
Meat Mincer Cepuros - The Gardener Pandecter - Many Ingredients
Ospreon - Pulse Aeropetes - Birds Polyteles - The Gourmet Tetrapus
- The Quadruped Thalassa - The Sea Halieus - The Fisherman
"De re coquinaria" from Marcus Gavius Apicius. Marcus Gavius
Apicius is believed to have been a Roman gourmet and lover of
luxury, who lived sometime in the 1st century AD, during the reign
of Tiberius.

preserving, and promoting the world's literature. Kessinger
