The Sacred Flan: The Original Roman Flan Recipe from the First Roman Cookbook
This recipe comes the first cookbook in the Roman World, De Re Coquinaria, Liber Vii. Written the first century AD by a wealthy Roman, Apicius, this book contains one of the few sweet flan recipes from the Roman empire. At the end it calls for a sprinkling of pepper , as was standard in almost all Roman dishes. I tried it and it’s…interesting.
