It depends on how you want to go about it. My favourite approach is from the general to the specific
- Foods the Romans knew - a tour of the market with introduction to argicultural practises and trade networks
- The Roman culinary tradition - batterie de cuisine and common taste, including status values and such.
- Eating habits - the organisation of meals and food preparation, who ate and drank when, how and with whom.
- Specific recipes - examples, going back to previous aspects where necessary.
Two hours isn't going to be more that a tour d'horizon, so you definitely need to make a bibliography and bring books to class. Otherwise, people won't know where to look for more and likely won't muster the energy to do their own research.
Will you be able to show pictures or artifacts? It helps engagement and learning to hae a lot of nonveral input in my experience.
Will the audience be experts or amateurs? Will they understand culinary terms, or do you have to tell it in simple words?
It sounds fascinating!
