Historical Food is a grand site for glimpses into the culinary traditions of the past. Ivan is the foremost authority on historical food and runs a working museum used as a teaching aid in his courses. Located in a seventeenth century farm in England, classes teach people how to create unforgettable feasts using old techniques and equipment.
Among the classes are: Late Medieval English Cookery, Italian Renaissance Cookery, Jelly and Moulded Foods and Period Sugarwork and Confectionery. For those of us unlikely able to attend one of these, the site is full of enticing, gorgeous photographs to fawn over.
But what do you think?

This looks fantastic. I’ve always been fascinated by the food of the past and find that it immediately brings history to life – you can learn so much aboutpeople’s daily lives through what they used to eat and how they used to prepare various dishes – thank you for adding this!
