Gastronomy of the Czech Middle Ages

Forget the cliché of barbaric boisterous feasts where bones are thrown over the shoulders of dogs. The medieval gastronomy of the elite was highly refined and distinguished by very sophisticated recipes that used luxurious ingredients that we are only now rediscovering.

These include, for example, almond milk, rice flour, hemp oil, but also exotic forgotten spices, which was previously a sought-after 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 to you 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The book has a large number of new (unpublished) recipes, a large number of great photographs, a more detailed explanation of traditional ingredients, and new results of archaeological research that clarify or even change our ideas about the medieval way of life.

Rediscover the fascinating flavors of our past and enjoy!
