How did castle residents cook in the past? What was served at the table in both wealthy and poor households? What role did herbs from their own gardens play? And how did people in the past deal with seasonal produce, food preservation, and food waste?

The tasting focuses not only on history, but also on its connection to current issues. You’ll discover how people in the past made the most of available ingredients, how local and seasonal products formed the basis of their cuisine, and what lessons that historical food culture can teach us today about sustainability and mindful eating.

During thistasting , the castle chef will tell you all about the culinary culture at Muiderslot Castle. And each season features a different theme.
