ANCIENT EGYPTIAN FOOD: WHAT WOULD YOU CREATE WITH FOODS GROWN ALONG THE NILE?

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN FOOD: ANCIENT INGREDIENTS, MODERN TABLE

Ancient Egyptian food was shaped by the Nile, the land around it, and connections with the wider ancient world. Some foods grew along the river. Some arrived through trade. And some foods familiar to us today came thousands of years later. So what could you create with that ancient pantry today?

Ancient Egyptian food ingredients including dates, figs, grapes, olives, lentils, fava beans, melon, cucumber, herbs and cheese displayed along the Nile.
