Description
The ancient Egyptians, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, the Greeks, Romans, and Scythians ate completely differently from how we do today. They didn’t grow potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, corn, or eggplants. They learned about buckwheat and rice rather late and considered them rare grains; they used sugar only as medicine, and the nobility only knew about bananas and oranges by hearsay. They had no tea, no coffee, no cocoa, and the strength of wine did not exceed 14–16 degrees.
Despite this, cookbooks left behind by ancient authors and descriptions of feasts are full of very tempting recipes and dishes. But what did people who lived across the vast territory of the ancient Greco-Roman world—slaves and peasants, legionaries and emperors—actually eat? This and other questions about the history of ancient cuisine are answered by Oleg Ivik’s book.
