Description
The Vikings and their food culture
The North Germans of the early Middle Ages - also known as Vikings, Norsemen or Varangians - were regarded as the terror of the coast and were already decried as barbarians in medieval chronicles. A reputation that is still reflected in our modern view of history. Yet the peoples of the North Sea and Baltic region not only produced feared raiders, but also long-distance traders and daring explorers. Numerous runic inscriptions and sagas that have survived to this day also bear witness to their cultural achievements.
The cookbook Cooking like the Vikings is therefore much more than just a collection of recipes. It is also intended to bring the time of the Vikings back to life and allow you to enjoy and experience a piece of this bygone era with your own senses. Some authentic recipes have been handed down from generation to generation over the centuries and have been preserved to this day. The historical recipes, but also the modern variations, take you on a fascinating culinary journey to the Vikings from the legends and stories. A journey that takes you right up to the present day - our modern age - in which people are happy to revisit old traditions and customs, which are then given a new lease of life.
Whether it's fish soup, roast wild boar or home-brewed juniper beer - Cooking like the Vikings offers a tasty approach to the culture of the Norsemen and introduces the special features of Viking cuisine. With authentic and recreated recipes, the author takes us on a journey into the past and lets us experience the traditions and customs of the Norsemen. The spectrum of the more than 80 dishes presented ranges from hearty soups and hearty roasts to sugary sweet treats. Of course, fish in all its different variations is also included. This collection is complemented by a list of the foods used, including their history.
A cookbook for those who want to try out old recipes in a new way.
