CHAPTER

Culinary Adaptations in Crisis

This chapter examines historical household manuals and recipe books that reveal how cooking practices evolved during severe events like the frost of 1607 and the famines of the 1690s. It highlights creative solutions in food preparation, including the use of alternative ingredients and innovative preservation techniques, particularly among women. The discussion extends to the impact of extreme climate conditions on both agricultural practices and the flourishing of cultural industries, such as theatre, in response to social and environmental challenges.
