    Archaeologists and Chefs Join Forces to Recreate Ancient Recipes

    • Scholars and chefs recently gathered in New York City to recreate ancient recipes.
    • The event, “Appetite for the Past,” was hosted by New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World.
    • Researchers use a combination of molecular evidence, archaeological analysis, and culinary instinct to recreate ancient recipes.
    • Often, the task of understanding what people in the past ate and how they prepared and consumed it is an exercise in scientific inference and creativity.
    • Residue and soot on ancient ceramic cooking pots can provide clues to the ingredients and cooking methods used in ancient recipes.
    • Anthropological archaeologist Yitzchak Jaffe and anthropologist Karine Taché analyzed residue on an ancient ceramic cooking pot found in a Chinese cemetery.
    • Lipid extraction, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry were used to identify plant ingredients, including millet, in the residue.
    • Raymond Childs, a chef at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, experimented with different ways of preparing millet to recreate the ancient recipe.
    • The researchers determined that the pot had been used to cook a stew, probably simmered with the pot tipped on its side.
    • The team added pork and eggplant to the stew to make it more palatable, as they did not have much else to go on beside millet.
