"... reliable information is in short supply. The one significant exception is the cookbook known by the unspectacular title of De re coquinaria, or Cookbook, the sole example of the genre to have survived from antiquity. Both the author and the date of composition are unknown, although traditionally it has been ascribed to a certain Apicius, a legendary gourmand of the first century AD."
