Through painstaking research, scholarship and cooking, historian Annelies Van Wittenberghe presents us with her favorite 120 delicious recipes from 4,000 years of European cooking. This is a cookbook (all the recipes were kitchen tested by the author) but it's also a history of the major changes in European cooking from Roman simplicity and Burgundian artifice to the new foods of the Age of Discovery. Surprisingly, there are also some things that have not changed. And we find out about the perils of trying to recreate a mythic Roman dish.
