The two earlier books A Handbook of Anglo-Saxon Food and A Second Handbook of Anglo-Saxon Food
& Drink have been brough together in one volume. This
provides a vast amount of information (544 pages) at a reasonable price.
A picture is provided of how food was grown, conserved, prepared and
eaten during the period from the beginning of the 5th century to the
11th century.
Food production for home consumption was the basis of economic activity
throughout the Anglo-Saxon period and ensuring access to an adequate
food supply was a constant preoccupation. Used as payment and a medium
of trade, food was the basis of the Anglo-Saxons' system of finance and
administration. Information from literary and archaeological sources
has been brought together for the first time to give insights into this
important aspect of Anglo-Saxon life.
The Celtic west of Britain is also covered. An extensive index enables
the reader to quickly find specific information.
