What people ate and drank, how they dined and feasted
Černá-Feyfrlíková Monika
Forget the cliché of barbaric boisterous feasts where bones are thrown over the shoulders of dogs. The medieval gastronomy of the elites was highly sophisticated and excelled with very elaborate recipes that used luxurious ingredients that we are now laboriously rediscovering.
These include, for example, almond milk, rice flour, hemp oil, as well as exotic, forgotten spices that were once a desirable part of more luxurious dishes, which you can cook yourself at home with the help of this cookbook. Among other things, it will also reveal what was behind the success of medieval chefs and how banquets were held at the most prestigious royal courts.
The book has a large number of new (previously unpublished) recipes, a large number of great photographs, a more detailed commentary on traditional ingredients and new results of archaeological research that clarify or even change our ideas about the medieval way of life.
Rediscover the fascinating tastes of our past and enjoy!
