How was it possible to make ice cream in the Kingdom of Naples during the summer heat, even without freezers? Why did European nobility start to adore French cuisine at a certain point in history? And what kind of show could ordinary sugar provide during lavish banquets?
The fascinating world of culinary art from past eras was thoroughly described by British food historian Ivan Day in a special episode of PodCastle. During his recent visit to the Czech Republic, he visited the National Heritage Institute, where he provided an exclusive interview for us in the setting of the Ledebour Garden.
