Egypt kept a vegetable kingdom; Greece dined before the age of luxury; Rome feasted at the peak of prosperity. Martyn tours the foods and culinary utensils of the ancients, civilization by civilization, from Assyria and the kingdoms of the tawny men onward. Dinner as archaeology, served in short chapters. Eat your way backward through the ancient world.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
