Oyster and wine: in the kitchen with the Ancient Romans
A series of meetings featuring the food culture in ancient times
What did our ancestors eat in prehistoric times? Is there a continuity between ancient and current history of nutrition? How did the relevance of food and the associated traditions evolve over the centuries?
