About me
"Hello, I'm Iris, you can learn from me how our ancestors kept their household in good shape."
– Iris von Stephanitz
As a freelance art historian and archaeologist, I have been working for museums for over 20 years and for theatre, radio and television for 12 years.
I am particularly interested in imparting traditional knowledge about living habits, nutrition and household management from the Neolithic Age to modern times.
- How were the house and yard kept clean in the past?
- What work processes were part of daily life?
- How were bread, butter, cheese and sausage made?
- What preservation techniques were used?
- Which spices were used?
- What flavour did the products have back then and, above all, what was baked and cooked?
- what was baked and cooked?
- We can learn a lot from traditional household tips for today. Waste problems as we know them today were unknown to our ancestors in this form.
**Our buying habits, the way we organise our lives and raise our families can, more than you think, influence trade and our environment.
