Description
Jacqui Wood's study of ancient cooking methods and recipes reveals that our prehistoric ancestors ate a surprisingly varied diet. Based on experimental archaeology at her research settlement in Cornwall, this book describes the ingredients and food preparation techniques used by our ancient forebears. The book covers a range of topics, from bread-making to sweet treats, and includes detailed sections on cooking with hot stones, clay-baked food, and seafood dishes. Wood's recipes are designed to be recreated using only the ingredients and equipment available during prehistoric times, offering a unique insight into how our ancestors lived and ate. From fish wrapped in grasses and baked over an open fire, to sweet fruit and seaweed jelly washed down with Neolithic wine, this book shows that ancient cooking was far more varied and sophisticated than often imagined.
