Ancient Viking kitchens were practical and often featured islands for food preparation. These islands were typically made of wood and served as a central workspace for cooking and baking. Viking cuisine relied heavily on ingredients such as fish, meat, dairy products, and grains. The island in their kitchens provided a dedicated area for chopping, kneading dough, and arranging ingredients. It also allowed for efficient movement between different cooking stations, making the cooking process more organized and efficient.
