WELCOME TO UHTRED''S FEAST The Last Kingdom is one of the most successful historical fiction series of our time, telling the epic story of the birth of England, and introducing one of the greatest ever fictional heroes: the iconic Uhtred of Bebbanburg. Saxon-born, Norse-raised, warrior and rebel. The final Last Kingdom book was published in 2020, but for the author the story felt unfinished: there were some Uhtred tales he still wanted to tell, and over the course of writing the books he''d become fascinated by some elements of the Anglo-Saxon world that it wasn''t possible to fully explore in the novels. When he met renowned chef Suzanne Pollak, the idea for Uhtred''s Feast was born. And here Bernard Cornwell tells those additional Uhtred stories, showing us the man behind the shield - as a young boy, as Alfred''s advisor, and as prince - while Suzanne brings his world to life through beautifully crafted recipes which open a door into the Anglo-Saxon home . . .

Zusammenfassung

WELCOME TO UHTRED'S FEAST . . .

Over the course of writing the Last Kingdom series, Bernard Cornwell discovered an increasing fascination for the Anglo-Saxon world: its people, their culture, and their domestic lives beyond the battlefield. And so when he met renowned chef Suzanne Pollak, someone with a passion for Anglo-Saxon cookery, Uhtred's Feast was born.

A combination of beautifully crafted recipes which incorporate Anglo-Saxon ingredients and cooking techniques, and brand new Uhtred stories by Bernard which show the iconic warrior behind the shield, Uhtred's Feast opens a door into the ordinary Saxon home and an extraordinary moment in our history.
