英语词汇apicius的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Apicius. Apicius might be called the world’s first gourmand and bon vivant as well as the author of the earliest cookbook. His Of Culinary Matters, has gone through countless editions since first written about 1,500 years ago. Some historians claim that Apicius was a rich Roman merchant who collected recipes wherever he traveled, others that his name is a nom de plume deriving from the word for “epicure,” but most authorities be- lieve that he was the Roman nobleman Marcus Gavius Apicius, who lived under Tiberius in the first century a.d. Whatever his identity, an Apicius still brings to mind a chef and gastronome without peer, one who went to such lengths as spraying his gar- den lettuce with mead in the evening so that it would taste like “green cheesecakes” the next morning, one who concocted Apician dishes that remain, in the words of Mark Twain, “as de- licious as the less conventional forms of sin.”
