Since 2022, the Belgian Excellence of Science–funded AGROS project (“Agriculture, Diet and Nutrition in Greco-Roman Egypt. Reassessing Ancient Sustenance, Food Processing and (Mal)Nutrition”) has allowed researchers to reconstruct historical processing and preparation techniques to recreate ancient foodstuffs. Join AGROS investigators Annette Hansen, Laura Motta, and Frits Heinrich as they discuss the process of bringing to life recipes from Graeco-Roman Egypt by translating recipes found on papyrus—such as those of beer—and reproducing them for modern imbibing.
