Roman Pear Soufflee

Recently I’ve seen a documentary about the Romans and I found the dishes they presented interesting.
There I learned that a certain Apicius wrote a cookbook that you still can get today (see links below).
Searching on I found this picture here and I found that this Roman Pear Soufflee looks delicious.
So I looked how to prepare it and really found an English recipe. They said in the film that the Roman dishes were a haphazard mixture of sweet, hearty and hot from today’s perspective.
And can you believe it? They put Garum even in the pear soufflee where I first thought that it would be sweet!

Even so I want to find the ingredients and give it a try ;-)

Handles for handbags are rather expensive. That’s what Jezze thought also and she wrote a tutorial for selfmade bag handles !
Great!
To tell the truth I find them even more beautiful than my filled I-cord ;-)
