Imagining the Minoan Gastronomy

2015-10-22T12:16:00.000+03:00

Gastronomy is an expression of how a community views itself according to its dietary needs and tastes and how its members see themselves as providers, consumers and gourmands.
While we know a lot about the Minoan foods and diet, we ignore fundamental issues relating to Minoan gastronomy.
The dinner that followed the talks by Tzedakis, Hallager and Andreadaki at the Khania arcaeological museum (50 years of Greek-Swedish excavations at Castelli, Khania) was my playful interpretation of the savor and aroma of Minoan cuisine (Αchaeological Museum of Khania, 2 /11/2014)

To the Prokritoi's taste

2014-01-06T19:59:00.000+02:00

What did the new Greek leading class of prokritoi* eat in the Ottoman occupied Greece?
For Evmaros art gallery I recreated a menu from banquets that were actually described in foreign visitors' memoirs. These documents give us clues about the ingredients and cooking methods.
The participants enjoyed pilafs, meat dishes, pies, sherbets, cakes, an amalgam of local cuisine, Ottoman cuisine and western recipes. (Evmaros Gallery, Athens).

Saffron flavoured rice, garnished with pistachios, mint and dill

* The prokritoi were essentially bureaucrats and tax collectors, and gained a negative reputation for corruption and nepotism..

Going Byzantine

2014-01-06T18:22:00.000+02:00

A glimpse into the diet of the rich and poor of Constantinople in Komninoi time (11th – 12th century AD).

Clockwise from top left: silignites, the whitest wheat bread (katharos artos was the most expensive form of white bread and was divided into two categories, silignites and semidalites. The former was made with a very finely ground wheat flour.); semidalites; ryparos artos is whole meal bread; whole meal breads made from a mix of barley and durum wheat; rye bread.

If the hagiographers of 11th and 12th century maintained the traditional ideal of fasting, less conservative sources give a wealth of information about both the increased interest on eating and the greater availability of foodstuffs. The variety of vegetables, fruits and condiments- black pepper, caraway, honey, olive oil, vinegar, salt, mushrooms, celery, leeks, lettuce, chicory, spinach, turnips, eggplant, cabbage, white beets, almonds, pomegranates, nuts, apples, lentils, raisins, etc. -listed as food of the poor of Constantinople by Prodromοs (d. c. 1166, Poèmes prodr. nο.2.38-45) mirrors both the interest on good eating and the availability of dishes. Of course above all, the food in Constantinople of Komnenoi existed as a synthesis of what had gone before, but a synthesis enriched by new ingredients and many innovations.

Going Hellenistic

2014-01-06T16:27:00.001+02:00

Flavors and tastes of what rich and fashionable Hellenistic Greek society might have eaten. (Evmaros, November 2010, Athens)

Clockwise from top left:
cabbage, cucumbers, apples, pomegranate seeds; black olives; arugula sprinkled with Vietanmese nuoc mam, a good substitute for garos (the ancient fish sauce); mushrooms with oxymeli ( a boiled mixture of honey, vinegar and water); semi sweet cheese- bread; turnip pickled with mustard; pork belly stuffed with liver, bulgur and blood; boiled tripe served in sharp vinegar, cumin and asafoetida.

When Macedonian Caranous gave his wedding banquet, early in the third century, only 20 men attended as his guests. As soon as they had sat down, a silver bowl was given to each of them as a present.

When they had drunk the contents of the bowls, then there was given to each of the guests a loaf of bread on a bronze platter of Corinthian workmanship, of the same size; and chickens, ducks, pigeons, and a goose and lots of other items. Each guest took the food and gave it, platter and all, to the slave who waited behind him. Many other elaborate dishes were also served. And after them, another platter came, this one was made of silver, on which was placed a large loaf, and on that geese and hares and kids, bread curiously made, and doves, and turtledoves, and partridges, and a great abudance of many other kinds of birds.

After some flute-playing women and musicians had played a prelude, other girls came in, each one carrying two bottles of perfume bound with a gold cord and they gave a pair to each of the guests.

Then a great treasure was brought in: a silver platter with a golden edge, and large enough to receive a roast piglet of huge size, lying on its back, showing his belly, stuffed with many delicious things: roasted thrushes, and paunches, and a most countless number of fig-peckers, and the yolks of eggs spread on the top, and oysters, and scallops. And to every one of the guests were given these items, nice and hot, together with the platters.

But this was not the end of the banquet.

Many more items were brought until the serving time of the after- dinner tables: hot kid, roast fishes, Cappadocian bread, real Erymanthian boars and rivers of wine.

Finally, the after-dinner tables: flat cakes - Samian types and Attic types- Cretan gastrin, along with the special cake- boxes for each of the guests.

What a feast, indeed! And what a plethora of ingredients and combinations for those who demanded (and could afford) the best, most extravagant, most fashionable and ultimately most expensive foods. (More)
