Jacqui Wood is best known as Time Team's resident food historian. She works as the Director of Saveock Water Archaeology (www.archaeologyonline.org), an archaeological research centre and field school, and also works for English Heritage demonstrating Bronze Age technology.
"Be Inspired by Our Rich Heritage. If you think a bacon sandwich
was invented during the boom days of the Celtic Tiger as the
archetypal builders' breakfast, you would be very wrong. In fact,
this tasty treat has been around since earliest Celtic times. A
solstice feast could include a spit-roast of venison or wild boar
(more pork), a smoked fish stew (leeks, chives, milk as well as
more bacon), salmon or trout baked in clay, followed by fried crab
apple and honey (in bread cups) washed down with honey-based
drinks! Such menus and accompanying recipes--try the Roman
soldiers' lentil stew--are to be found . . . an intriguing study of
the rich history of food eaten in these islands from the earliest
times." --Irish Sunday Independent
"Wood's demonstration of ancient cookery is fascinating, due both
to its culinary revelations and its insight into often ignored
fragments of British history. An archaeologist, Wood has studied
the history of British food from the stone age right up to the
1970s." --Guardian
