Europe`s oldest and ancient Rome`s only surviving recipe book , De re coquinaria ( Of Culinary Matters ) by Marcus Gavius Apicius was translated into English in 1926 by Joesph Vehling .
The cookbook is still in print but unless you are fluent in Latin you may be able to find an English translation .
It is a bumper read of 500 recipes and 400 of them are of sauces .
Apicius was a stickler for perfection and was determined that his recipes should enlighten his readers and enhance their lives ...but no sweet dishes in his recipe book .
