Uhtred’s Feast
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.
Bernard Cornwell was born in London, raised in Essex and worked for the BBC for eleven years before meeting Judy, his American wife. Denied an American work permit he wrote a novel instead and has been writing ever since. He and Judy divide their time between Cape Cod and Charleston, South Carolina.
Suzanne Pollak, born in Beirut now living in Charleston, South Carolina, is the co-author of a number of cookery and entertainment books including The Pat Conroy Cookbook and Entertaining for Dummies. She is currently the Development Director of the annual Charleston Literary Festival. It was at this that she met Bernard Cornwell and the idea for this book was born.
