Content:
The Alemanni tribe settled in southwestern Germany for almost five centuries, from around 260 AD. Entire settlements have been discovered and excavated in recent years in what is now Baden-Württemberg. These archaeological finds provide a unique insight into life in an early medieval village and allow conclusions to be drawn about the dietary habits of the Alemanni. Using these sources and written evidence from historical writers from other cultures, the authors have created recipes as they were prepared in the hearths of the Alemanni 1,800 years ago.

Enjoy the culinary illumination of a bygone and forgotten era with new recipes.

The authors:
Andrea Graupel, born in 1963, showed an interest in cooking as a child and became a passionate hobby cook. Between 2002 and 2005, she was increasingly drawn to the Alamannenmuseum Ellwangen by Stefan Müller (co-author of the Alamannen Kochbuch), and her interest in history was also awakened. In 2005, she joined the German group Raetovarier as co-founder and quickly became a “group chef”. Since then, she has also devoted herself to research, especially in the areas of food, drinks and herbs and, above all, “old-fashioned cooking”.

Stefan Müller, born in 1971, was interested in history and archaeology from a very young age. In 1998, he became a member of the Archaeological Society of Württemberg and Hohenzollern.

In addition, he founded the German group Raetovarier in 2005 and increasingly devoted himself to researching and experiencing history as a hobby. Of course, research also includes tasting, especially the dishes prepared by Andrea Graupel (co-author of the Alamannen cookbook).
