is to have a specific glimpse on daily life of antique civilisations: a glimpse into antique cooking pots! Thanks to finds from archaeological excavations, texts, images (drawings, mosaics, sculpture, and so on), a lot is established about kings and their families, laws, architecture and religions. Clothing is also identified to a lower extend. Food is merely seen as sacrifice or grave goods or me
dicine. Although we can admit what kind of animals where hunt and / or bread, what kind of plants where cultivated, we hardly know anything about eating habits. An antique cooking workshop is a time travel into antique cooking pots and a way to experience archaeology. This different approach to archaeology and history should enable more people to learn about ancient civilisations in a comfortable and amusing way. Therefore, the evenings begin with a historic and geographic introduction while appetizers from this period are offered. Besides, eating habits as well as trading routes are explained and shown on maps. Where did the ingredients come from? Do we know their prices? Finally, all participants enjoy the meal they just cooked and talk about the new tastes.
