When food cannot be tasted a display can be shown instead. Colour photographs by Phil Giddings show the dishes prepared together with displays of ingredients for an event held at the museum. The recipes use mainly ingredients available locally in Roman times or the nearest equivalent. Then a suggested menu for a meal at a local villa is followed by recipes compiled and adapted for events by Margaret Adamson. The introduction, by a local environmental archaeologist, lists and describes the food remains discovered during excavations in Roman Leicester by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services, with comparisons to what is known from Roman Britain. 'A Taste of Roman Leicester' is an information booklet about Roman food, printed by The Friends of Jewry Wall Museum, written to accompany events held by the volunteers to show aspects of life in the past to the visitors with a foreword about events by Samantha Glasswell.

This construction is rendered available for readers via the doubled consumption of Mediterranean food and Mediterranean culture. The Mediterranean their writing creates echoes this ambiguity, its lacunae bringing into relief the constructed nature of the “Mediterranean diet” and the unified Mediterranean it imagines. In suggesting the possibility of eating one's way into knowledge of a culture, each author stresses her own deep ties to the Mediterranean, sidestepping the fundamental ambiguity of these links. To establish their authority as experts over the wide and varied Mediterranean zone, David, Roden, and Wolfert reach for an elusive unity across the sea, presupposing not only a shared history but an imagined past in which the Mediterranean presented a single cuisine and, by extension, a single culture. In conversation with one another they build a discourse of Mediterranean food that binds up cooking and eating with cultural identity. The Anglophone cookbook writers Elizabeth David, Claudia Roden, and Paula Wolfert situate Mediterranean cookery at the intersection of science, history, literature, and art.
