Have you ever wondered how common or rare the ovens once were? What was the original mince pie? And what was the first EVER bread humankind invented? Hello! Welcome back to another archaeogastronomical adventure! Today I have as a guest an old friend of the podcast; Dr Neil Buttery and we have a good long chat about his new book, all about baking! The book will be released on 12th of September and our interview today will give you a taste of the subjects covered in the book as well some of our favourite baked goods, and myths that are baked in our societies and have to do with the discovery of certain items! You can pre-order 'Knead to Know' here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/knead-to-know/neil-buttery/9781837731213 Neil has also another book ready for publishing, for The British Library, called "The Philosophy of Puddings" which is released on 24th of October! and you can find it here: https://shop.bl.uk/products/the-philosophy-of-puddings Enjoy!
