Andrew Dalby trained as a classicist and linguist and is now librarian of the London Goodenough Trust for Overseas Graduates
'A must. Even if you didn't that this was the book you were waiting
for, you will know when it is in your hands. The sensationally good
cover is both alluring and surprising; and the same may be said of
Andrew Dalby's text.' - Petit Propo Wlinaires
'It will surely remain for some time the definitive work on Greek
food and gastronomy, and as a standard reference work, it will be
regularly plundered via its quite excellent indexes every time
anyone wants to know, as Dalby himself once did, how the Greeks
ate.' - Times Literary Supplement
'Siren Feasts is a fascinating book and the first of its kind. It
is not only for the scholar - although scholarly in approach - but
also for the food enthusiast.' - Rena Salaman, Hampstead and
Highgate Express
'No review can do justice to the packed detail in this unique book,
drawing on the archaeology of prehistoric sites, the inventories of
shipwrecked cargoes, ruined storerooms, vase-painting and
literature' - Financial Times
'This is one of those books you'll find yourself using time and
time again and it will seldom let you down. I was also impressed by
the high standard of production and by the illustrations' - Greece
& Rome Volume 43
'If you're at all interested in what the ancient Greeks ate, this
is the book.' - LA Times
