culina, -ae f. kitchen

I recently bought two books in England - Roman Cookery by Mark Grant and The Classical Cookbook by Andrew Dalby and Sally Grainger. These both recreate ancient recipes for the modern kitchen, taking into account the difference in ingredients and equipment. I have undertaken to throw a Roman dinner party, but I need to practise making some of the dishes first.
My first menu will include Pyramid Cakes, Sponge Bread, Olive and Celery Pate, and Sesame Biscuits. And to drink, some honey water and of course, some wine!
