Food: "On the subject of (roman) cooking"

I've been searching and searching for information about "Roman" cooking. Traditional Roman cooking, poor mans food, whatever you want to call it. Although not written for the poor, I keep coming across "APICIUS".

They say Apicius is a collection of texts and its earliest editions were given the overall title of "De re coquinaria", or "On the Subject of Cooking". It has been pseudepigraphically (go ahead, check the spelling Tina. I checked it first this time!! a ha ha ha) attributed to 1st centry Marcus Gavius Apicius, a gourmet and lover of all things luxurious.

So far, sooo cool! Wowie food AND history. It's like a sparklie. I've just got to have it Mrs. B.

Here's what I've found on Amazon, will continue searching and buy a copy.
