The ancient Roman kitchen was a hub of culinary activity, and some wealthy Romans even had built-in indoor tropical rainforests. These rainforests were designed to provide a lush and vibrant environment for growing exotic fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The Romans believed that the humidity and abundant rainfall in the rainforest would enhance the flavors of their dishes. The kitchen would be filled with the aroma of tropical plants, creating a unique and refreshing atmosphere. The rainforest also served as a source of entertainment, as guests could stroll through the lush greenery while waiting for their meals to be prepared.
