Save the recipes you love, label them, and let us shuffle a weekly menu from your own collection.
How Forgotten Feasts researches forgotten recipes and food history: which sources we prioritise, how we check them, and how we attribute images and recipes.
We prioritise primary sources and use modern scholarship to check context, chronology, ingredient names, regional claims, and translation choices.
Surviving cookbooks, household manuals, menus, agricultural records, manuscript transcriptions and archive scans.
Modern food-history scholarship, used to check and contextualise what the primary record says.
Museum, academic and open archive collections.
Images and recipes are attributed to their source; modern methods are marked as adaptations.
