[Sca-cooks] Viking Age Cookbook?

[Elise Fleming]

Greetings!  Found this link (which I made into TinyURL) in a Twitter 
comment: http://tinyurl.com/d533hjb .

It's on someone's Facebook page and says, "A cookbook and culinary 
factbook based on what we know today about the Viking Age food culture. 
Both the recipes and the factbook part are based on finds, literary 
sources, other contemporary sources and experimental archaeology."

The description is given thusly: “An Early Meal - a Viking Age Cookbook 
& Culinary Odyssey” is more than just a Viking Age cookbook. It is a 
combination of a textbook on Viking Age culinary practices and 
mouthwatering recipes based on archaeological finds and experimental 
archaeology.

The book is a result of a 15 year long collaboration between research 
and experiments of Daniel Serra, culinary archaeologist - experimental 
archaeologist and doctoral student - and the culinary skills and palate 
of Hanna Tunberg - foodie, sommelier and archaeologist.

The book is planned to be released by late spring and is the first book 
published by ChronoCopia Publishing."

The recipes, if any, won't be taken from period sources since none 
exist, but maybe they might be somewhat more "authentic" than what is 
done by re-enactors. Does anyone have further information?
