Kitchen Wisdom

These are the best recipes of the last two thousand years.

Empires have fallen, gods have tumbled, temples have been desecrated, battles won and lost, and families divided, but still, these recipes have survived.

Because they are our favourites.

It takes a hell of a lot to kill a good recipe. It can survive poor produce and amateur technique, thumb its nose at fashion, and even triumph over the strange things restaurant chefs do to it, but it won’t lie down and die as long as someone still loves cooking and eating it.
