I love food and cooking, and I love history. It’s my lucky day because Max Miller is stopping by the show to talk about how he recreates historic recipes for his excellent YouTube channel Tasting History. Whether it’s diving deep into ancient Roman condiments like Garum or exploring the origins of Adobo, Max delivers witty insights into both recipes and the people who ate them from throughout history. I also get the low-down on Parmesan ice cream!
Mentioned in this Episode
The best place to find Max and Tasting History is at his YouTube channel. We talked about a few different episodes, so I’ll drop some videos below for you to check out! You can find more Max on Instagram.
If you are into historical recipes, Max mentioned a favorite book, written by a couple of archaeologists on Viking-era foodways. You can find “An Early Meal: A Viking Age Cookbook and Culinary Odyssey” by Danial Serra and Hanna Tunberg on Amazon, of course. Perhaps you feel like tackling your own historic recipes? Here’s a useful guide!
You can order asafoetida spice from the Spice House, and if you don’t feel like making your own garum, amazon has your back.
