Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Begin your very own food journey through the centuries and around the world with the first cookbook from the beloved YouTube channel Tasting History with Max Miller.
What began as a passion project when Max Miller was furloughed during Covid-19 has become a viral YouTube sensation. The Tasting History with Max Miller channel has thrilled food enthusiasts and history buffs alike as Miller recreates a dish from the past, often using historical recipes from vintage texts, but updated for modern kitchens as he tells stories behind the cuisine and culture.
From ancient Rome to Ming China to medieval Europe and beyond, Miller has collected the best-loved recipes from around the world and has shared them with his fans. Now, with beautiful photographs portraying the dishes and historical artwork throughout, Tasting History compiles over sixty dishes such as:
- Tuh’u: a red beet stew with leeks dating back to 1740 BC
- Globi: deep-fried cheese balls with honey and poppy seeds
- Soul Cakes: yeasted buns with currants from circa 1600
- Pumpkin Tourte: a crustless pumpkin cheesecake with cinnamon and sugar on top from 1570
- And much more.
Including the original recipe and Miller’s modern recreation, this cookbook is a must-have for any avid cook or history fan looking to experience delicious recipes from the past.
