If you imagine that our ancient forbears ate weak gruel, some meat,
and bread so hard that it was practically inedible, Jacqui Wood's
study and recreation of ancient cooking methods and recipes will be
a revelation. Based on experimental archaeology at the author's
world-famous research settlement in Cornwall, this book describes
the ingredients of prehistoric cooking and the methods of food
preparation. A general overview of the lifestyle of our prehistoric
ancestors is followed by detailed sections (plus cookbook-style
recipes) on: bread; dairy foods; meat, fish and vegetable stews;
cooking with hot stones; clay-baked food; salt and the seashore
menu; peas, beans and lentils; herbs and spices; vegetables; yeast,
wine, beer and teas; sweets and puddings. At the end of the book
you will realise that a barbecue in the summer need not be sausages
on a gas cooker; it could be fish wrapped in grasses and clay,
baked in a fire pit at the end of the garden, followed by sweet
fruit, seaweed jelly and washed down by Neolithic wine.
