More than 2000 years ago, the emperor César chose Arles (he called him Arelate) to create a Roman colony. It developed a prosperous agricultural economy thanks to wine, olive oil, wheat, horses… Only one book of Roman cuisine has come down to us. It was written by Apicius, the cook of the emperors Tiberius and Augustus. Inspired by these recipes, I offer you a unique taste experience, at home, around a fireplace or in the courtyard (depending on the season). But before that, we will meet at the Tower of the Ecorchoir, a historic site located 3 minutes walk from the house where you will discover a fresco evoking the ancient Arles in the 4th century. Back home, we will taste Roman dishes that I will have made for you: herbs and spices, cheeses, "patinas", salads with bold salty-sweet combinations, spicy fresh fruit desserts, stuffed dried fruits... Get ready for a Latin moment that you will not experience anywhere else! I will also tell you how the Romans cooked, which products they used, how they preserved food, what were their favorite spices, herbs and salted meats and the sauces they invented... With me, you will discover a 2000 year old totally unique and delicious moment, in the privacy of my humble home… Bon appétit! Other things to note The brunch that I propose to you develops associations of tastes and new perfumes, that the Romans liked. With curious taste buds of novelty, you will be enchanted by this experience!
