There’s a fellow on youtube who makes dishes from antiquity, including garum. Worth a watch if you’re into cooking, or history, or both. this video
Max Miller on youtube says he knows how to make Garum - the fish sauce that is often referenced. this video Now sure if that is genuine, i previously read that the recipe for this stuff has been lost (but the Author says his receipe is based on Byzantine sources) More about the author here: [LINK] it says his historical cookbook will be published next year, in 2022.
