Now picture yourself as you sat for a symposium with Cicero, or Pliny the Elder or Julius Caesar. The opulent feasts of the decadent Romans! Maybe, you're following Alexander the Great during his military campaigns in Asia for ten years. Conquering the vast Persian empire, while discovering new foods. Or try and picture the richness of fruits and vegetables in the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon. What foods did our ancestors ate? How did all begin? Who was the first to write a recipe down and why?

Welcome to another recipe of the week on a Saturday! I’m your hungry host Thom Ntinas, and this is The Delicious Legacy podcast!  Thanks for tuning in! On today bonus episode I’m leaving you with another lamb recipe and a little bit of a story behind the naming of it; Kleftiko, perhaps one of the most famous Greek recipes abroad.... The name of the dish derives from klephts, who were a group of Greek brigands or militiamen during the period of Ottoman rule over Greece between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries. But how do you cook it? And did really thieves steal sheep and cooked them underground in the mountain hideouts? Listen and find out! Music by Miltos Boumis and Pavlos Kapralos Enjoy!
