Food and Drink in
Ancient Egypt
By: Dominick Nedotiafko
Utensils / Cooking Tools
For utensils, they mostly used their
fingers but they also used ladles and
spoons that were made of clay and
knives that were made of stone,
copper or bronze
A lot of the cooking tools we used
now were used in Ancient Egypt.
They all used pots, pans, bowls, and
plates, all usually made of clay ,
metal, and copper, to cook or eat
with.
Cooking Appliances
The tandoor oven was used to
make things like flatbread by
slapping the dough on the hot sides
of the oven to make flatbread.
They would use pottery to cook over
the fire. The fuel for the fire would
be charcoal or wood.
Drinks
The most common drink in Ancient
Egypt was beer. Beer would always
be apart of every meal and has be
preferred as the drink of gods and
humans and also rich and power.
Other drinks that they had were
water from the Nile that was very
poor quality, and milk that was from
cows, sheep or goat which spoiled
easily in the hot desert sun.
Bread
Bread was the most popular food
item in Ancient Egypt. They made
the breads mostly from flour that
was made from wheat and barley.
Inside the bread they added nuts,
seeds and seasonings. After they
would be bake in ovens over a fire,
mostly tandoor ovens (see page 3).
Meats
The most common meats in Ancient
Egypt were pigeon, quail, mutton,
beef, fish and pork. Most of those
meats would be farmed or caught
(fish).
Another “meat” they ate in their
meals were beans, nuts and lentils.
Fruits
The biggest fruit in Ancient Egypt
were figs. Figs grow in trees and
have been in Egypt since 3000 bc.
Other fruits that they would eat at
meals were grapes, olives and
sometimes melons were present.
Vegetables
A lot of vegetables were grown in
Ancient Egypt. They grew cooking
vegetables such as garlic and
onions. The eating vegetables they
had were things like radishes,
cabbages, and cucumbers.
Food the poor people would eat
were papyrus roosting other
veggies they could find in marshes.
Seasonings / Oils
Ancient Egyptians loved to add
delicious seasonings to their foods.
Some of the seasonings they added
were coriander, mustard seeds, salt,
cumin, honey, dill and vinegar.
The most common oil in Ancient
Egypt was olive oil because they
grew olives and made oil to use not
just in cooking, but in religious
ceremonies and external ointment.
Typical Meals for
Noblemens and Farmers
Noblemen and their families would
eat meat, bread, cake, figs, dates
and drink wine and would be served
perfumed wax and lotus flowers
from servant girls.
Farmers and their families would
have a very small meal and it would
consist of the typical meat, bread
and beer.
The poor families or people would
only eat vegetables or meat that
were a very bad quality.
Ancient Egyptian Bread
Recipe
300 ml of finger warm water
25 g of fresh yeast
500 g spelt flour
1/2 tsp of water

flour mixed with salt. Knead it until the dough is smooth, add flour until it does
not stick to the bowl. Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Cover in cloth and put in
warm room. When the dough has doubled in size, after appr. 40 minutes,
knead it on a floured surface for 2 minutes. Cut the dough in 8 pieces and
flatten them to the thickness of a finger. Bake in middle of the oven for 8-10
minutes. A bubble of air will rise in the middle of the bread. Eat when cool.
