[Sca-cooks] Norse cooking

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

If you read French, this is a very useful guide to archeological finds of  
Viking food:

For those not up on modern food trends, there have actually been movements  
towards the Norse diet, the Icelandic diet, etc. Here's an article:

I highly recommend
An Early Meal a Viking Age Cookbook  and Culinary Odyssey
by Daniel Serra and Hanna Tunberg

It is not  perfect, but it is based on archaeological and textual evidence 
and the  authors are clear about what resources they used for their recipes. 
And it  *is* for Viking age foods, unlike several rather late cookbooks 
that have been  mentioned that are far from that era and not particularly  
Norse.
