A Taste of the Ancient World
Under this title Sally Grainger and Dr Chris Grocock have developed a living history display which can be seen at English Heritage sites around the country. We are able to demonstrate just how a Roman slave cook would have prepared food for a luxury banquet and simpler food for the soldier and peasant. We are able, using a portable Roman oven, to bake an authentic sour dough loaf. The oven sits on top of the replica Roman hob and is fired with charcoal. The hob is simply a raised hearth, which was made of masonry. Ours is, from necessity, made of more portable materials.
