Description
"My name is Uhtred. I am the son of Uhtred, who was the son of Uhtred and his father was also called Uhtred ... The Last Kingdom is one of the most successful historical fiction series of our time. The novels tell the epic story of the birth of England and introduces one of the greatest ever fictional heroes: the iconic Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the Saxon-born, Norse-raised warrior and rebel. In this lively compendium, Bernard Cornwell revisits Uhtred's realm, illuminating elements of the show more Anglo-Saxon world he couldn't fully explore in his novels. Uhtred's Feast offers rich background on the books of the Last Kingdom series, presenting a fascinating, detailed view of Anglo-Saxon life in all its splendor, danger, and beauty. With his narrative flair, Cornwell explores every aspect of this historical period, from the clothes to weapons to food, offering beautifully crafted recipes of early Anglo-Saxon fare, created by renowned UK chef Suzanne Pollak. In addition, he has written three new stories exclusive to this book that reveal the man behind the shield--Uhtred as a young boy, as Alfred's advisor, and as prince"-- show lessTags

A fun little cookbook (never thought I’d say that…) that while it has a lot of recipes also includes some English history and a couple new short stories starring Uhtred. Maybe I’ll even try to make one of the recipes one day…
This is probably the last Uhtred book, and I will be sad abut it. He was the most fully realised of all Cornwell's thug heroes, and the Alfred period was vague enough to fit hm well. The short stories are vivid, and the recipes seem good too.
Turnips are delicious.
This book contains three short stories and a bunch of recipes. The stories were great and I enjoyed seeing some (dead) characters again.
The recipes that I’ve made have all been tasty and easy. My favorite is the Spring Pottage. It is just so comforting and filling. The recipes are simple because of the time period, but that makes them beginner friendly. Most of them are one pot recipes, as well.
