Cooking up an Anglo-Saxon Feast


Many of the finds from an archaeological site are in some way related to the diet of its past inhabitants – oyster shell, animal bone, charred grain and even sherds of cooking pot.

This course will look at the types of food that may have been grown, processed, cooked and consumed by our predecessors, with a chance to prepare some of the types of food eaten in the First Millennium.

In addition, we shall look at the health of the ancient Sedgeford population in relation to diet, through research carried out by the Project's human remains team.

This is a very practical based course with lots of hands-on cooking and tasting to be enjoyed.

N.B. A small charge of £7 will be required on the day to cover the cost of ingredients.
