A man, a legend, a myth. So much is a mystery about Marcus Gavius Apicius the gourmet, and Apicius De Re Coquinaria, the oldest surviving cookbook from the Classical World.
Before the word Epicurean was in use, there was "Apician" 'of or pertaining to Apicius the notorious Roman gourmand.'
My guest today, Andrew Kenrick is a tutor at University of East Anglia who wrote Eating the Empire: The Life and Dines of a Roman Foodie
Eating the Empire is a book about the life and food of the world’s first celebrity chef and author of the oldest surviving cookbook, Marcus Gavius Apicius where he attempts to uncover the real Apicius, buried amidst the scandal and myth that surrounded his life.
