Also good are the Penguin Classics' volume EARLY CHRISTIAN WRITINGS and Baker Books' THE APOSTOLIC FATHERS (ed. Holmes). Hope this helps. I like the volume in the Ancient Christian Writers Series.

This situation is no longer present at the time of the Council of Jerusalem [48-9 A.D.] ... Therefore I suggest that the two eucharists of the Didache were composed before this date ... 1 Corinthians is familiar with and uses the Eucharistic Liturgy of the Didache and ... bases itself on these texts of the Didache in order to express the Eucharistic theology that Paul shares with the community at Corinth ... Paul evangelized Corinth between 50 and 52. His argument is extensive and not reducible to the following, but this is part of his conclusion:

I don't always agree with him, but that's life.

Simon Tugwell also does well in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0826457711/mikeaquilina-20/002-8879480-1409651" rel="nofollow">The Apostolic Fathers</a>.

I'd supplement any of these, however, with Enrico Mazza's works, which you'll find <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/081466170X/mikeaquilina-20/002-8879480-1409651" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/081466119X/mikeaquilina-20/002-8879480-1409651" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
