Medieval Cuisine. What People Ate and Drank in France

The Middle Ages span an enormous period: from the fall of Rome to the discovery of America. However, don’t think the thousand-year era was gray, boring, and monotonous. The Middle Ages were very different—bright and cheerful, humble and dull, mischievous and devout, righteous and deceitful… like life itself in all its manifestations. And if we talk about medieval cuisine—here it’s simply a riot of colors and flavors! The book “The Cuisine of the Middle Ages. What They Ate and Drank in France” will introduce the reader to a whole list of products that could be served at the table of a medieval Frenchman. The information presented in the book is published in Russian for the first time. And the recipes from medieval cookbooks were translated from Middle French by the author himself.
