Welcome

Many of us of have a complex relationship with food.  It may fuel your day, your anxieties, or your passions. For me, on some level at least, it has always been a way to connect with the past.

Sometimes history is a very abstract thing.  Sure, you can visit the ruins of great castles, read well reasoned books, or attend a lecture but in the end you are forced to imagine it all; cooking is a different story.

One of the few things we can do to bring the past alive is to eat what our ancestors did.  With some careful thought and planning you can transport yourself to another era, at least one meal at a time.

And that is what this blog is all about; reconnecting with the past through food.

While I will be the first to admit I am no culinary genius nor Rhodes worthy historian, I hope you will enjoy this site, try some of these wonderful recipes, and learn a little in the mean time!
