Kann ein Karottensalat wirklich köstlich sein? Noch dazu einer, dessen Rezept aus einem mittelalterlichem, arabischen Kochbuch des 13. Jahrhunderts stammt? Zückt eure Gabeln! Wappnet euch für experimentelle Archäologie! Ich nehme euch mit auf eine kleine, kulinarische Zeitreise... - sogar mit Video!
Hey, psssst! Does anyone care for some... fake roast venison? It's medieval! And super, super sweet! Aaand it is fancy - it brings it's own BLING! (I mean gilded almonds! Whoa!) And basically it's vegan, because it is a christian Lenten dish from the 1. printed German Cookbook from 1485. Have a look at it (and at my fail during cooking this. 😅). Experimental archaeology in action.
Being a good Christian and still wanting to show off your wealth? This is how it worked in the Middle Ages: "Rechproten in der vasten" is a recipe for fake roast venison. Basically a sweet, vegan Lenten dish from dried fruits, spices, wine and rolls - expensive ingredients at this time. It's a recipe from the first printed German-language cookbook "Kuchemeysterey" from 1485 .
