#medieval #cooking #history In this episode, Hendrik and Carmen
show you how sophisticated and well-thought-out medieval kitchens
really were! From simple clay pots to elaborate bronze cooking
equipment of the nobility – discover the evolution of culinary
arts from the Early Middle Ages to the Late Middle Ages. We dive
into the secrets of historical kitchen equipment: Why were iron
cauldrons so valuable? How did "perpetual cooking" work over the
course of days? And what did the wall chimney revolutionize in
the 12th century? Learn all about roasting spits, tripods,
mortars, and our ancestors' clever solutions for temperature
control and fire safety. From the spartan peasant kitchen with an
open fire to the professional kitchens of noble castles –
medieval culinary arts were a real science! Carmen and Hendrik
also explain why these historical techniques are so fascinating
today at reenactment events and medieval fairs, and what we can
learn from our ancestors' sustainable circular economy. We look
forward to your comments! #culinaryhistory #reenactment
