If you want to splash out on a printed edition, I recommend the Dover
edition: "Apicius: cookery & dining in Imperial Rome", translated by
Vehling. It's straight translations from the Latin text, with
discussions on what things might mean and how to interpret the
instructions. Excellent. None left out, no "adaptations" of the
recipes to suit modern palates, no quantities and cooking times - but
then if you need these you shouldn't be attempting Roman recopies ;-)
