I believe Apicius is credited for writing the first cookbook back in Roman times.

I believe you're right. I have a copy (modern translation), and some of the recipes yield food that is quite tasty! (Although I will pass on the doormice in honey.)

Since dormice taste like chicken anyway, just substitute game hens.
