Sinopsis

Medieval Feasts unveils the opulent dining experiences of medieval European kings and nobles, revealing how these events were much more than simple meals. They were carefully designed displays of power and wealth, integral to social hierarchies and even political maneuvering. The book explores how the sheer scale of these banquets required immense resources and organizational prowess. Furthermore, the seemingly bizarre delicacies consumed, driven by beliefs about health, status, and the exotic, offer a unique window into the medieval mindset.

 


 
The book progresses by initially examining the logistics involved in organizing these grand feasts, from sourcing rare ingredients to managing extensive kitchen staff. It then delves into specific dishes and ingredients, explaining their cultural significance and perceived nutritional value. Finally, Medieval Feasts analyzes the role of these events in political and social life through case studies, demonstrating how they were essential to power dynamics and social cohesion, drawing from medieval cookbooks, archaeological finds, and illuminated manuscripts. This approach provides a fresh perspective by combining historical analysis with culinary insights, making it valuable for anyone interested in history, cooking, and the intersection of food and culture.

The ScandiKitchen Cookbook -...

Bronte Aurell

An entertaining introduction to Scandinavian food containing over 80 recipes developed by Bronte Aurell, owner of the popular ScandiKitchen Cafe in London's West End.

This book features recipes for all occasions, ranging from morning buns, lunchtime savouries, hearty dinners and indulgent desserts, to bakes and other foods for special celebrations.

Enjoy fresh and simple open sandwiches, healthy Nordic salads, delicious traditional hot dishes and indulgent cakes. Discover new flavours and textures from mustard pickled herring and gravlax to sticky Kladdkaka cake.

There's so much more to Nordic food than pickled herring and meatballs. Stretching from the midnight sun of northern Norway to the flat, fertile fields of Denmark, Scandinavian food culture is a lot more varied than you might think. Dishes and ingredients link all the regions together, bringing a uniquely Nordic food experience to life that was created by thousands of years of heritage and shared culture. Scandinavian food is simple. Natives call it 'husmanskost' (farmer's fare). It's natural and honest. When you work with the very best produce, there's no need to overcomplicate it. Its appeal lies in the fact that it is healthy, wholesome, flavoursome, simple to make and beautiful to look at.
