This paper extracts Turner's original comments on plants, birds and fish that are used for food. He surely never dreamed of writing a book about food, yet he was a close observer, a judicious taster, and, when occasion offered, a discriminating eater.

The name survived in Greek, Sanskrit and Avestan with certain changes of meaning, while archaeological, literary and linguistic evidence show that mead itself (both the beverage and the name) remained familiar in north-western Europe. The evidence strongly suggests that from the earliest period it was fermented and stabilized using meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria)

Research paper thumbnail of Evidence for the prehistory of gastronomy = Evidências da pré-história da gastronomia

Does it have a traceable prehistory? A guide towards future answers is outlined in this paper. Evidence of gastronomy during human prehistory is found by way of archaeology, elucidated from later texts and from the comparative evidence of recent hunter-gatherer communities. Evidence is then given of complex food choices among modern primates, indicating that the common ancestors of humans and other primates had the ability to learn to like fl avours, an ability essential in maintaining health and crucial in the eventual development of gastronomy.

Many people have written about the Roman cookery text Apicius, but no one has yet gathered a collection of recipes from the entire ancient world – from both Greek and Roman writings – and shown how they can be recreated in the modern kitchen. We have set the resulting 'menus' beside pictures and narratives of dining, drinking and festivity, which have survived from that period. We bridge the gap between modern experience and the tastes, smells, sights and sounds of two thousand years ago. This book is a collaboration: Sally writes on the finding and adapting of ancient recipes; the translations and the historical background are Andrew's work.
