Cooking Through History, Period 2

"Good morning," Hannibal said, nodding to the students. "We've just passed a holiday that has been around for hundreds of years; similarly, the foods used to celebrate it and other harvest holidays have also been around that long. Varieties of oat cake have come down to us from several countries; parsnips were widely cultivated. You'll note both these dishes are baked. They might also traditionally have been made over a fire; methods vary. Dishes were, however, metal at this point, which allowed for higher heats and faster cooking."

He waved at the medieval-looking kitchen around them. "So, make your cakes and pies. Let me know if you have any questions."
