There\s a v good book on ancient greek food called 'fishcakes and
courtesans' (or the other way round) by James Davidson. It might be
worth getting in touch with him. Last time I was in touch he was at
Birkbeck College in the university of london.

Thanks - I've found my local library has an available copy.

Another ancient Greek text I have yet to check is the Deipnosophists
(Sophisticated Dining??) by Athenaeus of Naucratis.
