I've heard in other historical documentaies that gladiators and Roman soldiers ate very little meat but existed mostly on porridge, or gruel, and I wonder what it would have been like. Not much of a feast, I imagine. meantime the emperors were scarfing down oysters and doormouse (YUCK! please don't make THAT) But it might be interesting to see a kind of -upstairs, Downstairs- layout of the Roman diet, depending if you were low or high class(with certain exceptions to spare us the really gross stuff)

I'd really be interested in watching Sohla do a take on lasagna, seeing as it's such a big part of Italian food, and the recipes can vary so much from person to person on how it's done. I would like to see the true original version of how it was done if that's possible. Thanks for the inspiration. Missing that low Babish voiceover, which is how I found you and those skills to begin with. :) Much love, from a fine dining Italian cook.

Sohla is a gem as always, but definitely gotta give props to the whole team behind these videos. They give a lot of room for Sohla to just be Sohla while adding their own little flairs. The editing is fun and lighthearted, but not overly. The shots also just feel a smidge longer than you see in a lot of other modern cooking videos, which I like. I think it fits the -ancient- tone as well as serves Sohla well.

I can see that if you had a big family, basically you could be a multi-faceted monopoly franchise.
You make bread,
your father was a farmer
your brother was a carpenter to make the table
your other brother was a potter to make pitchers
your sister was married to a bricklayer who made the ovens
and your uncle was an architect who made the building.

Okay, WHY the constant -they didn't use measures back then- she constantly says in these videos? Is there NO evidence, AT ALL, that pre-modern peoples used any kind of standard measurements? They weren't mentally ill or unintelligent back then. I'm sure they could have figured out standardized cooking measurements!

-16: 55, The cheese can also be used to make a Roman cheesecake, called Savillum.
Mix the cheese, honey and flour, and pour into a baking dish brushed with olive oil.
Top with more honey & poppy seeds/crushed walnuts, and bake till browned and slightly firm.
So Good!

Other than fruit. Try to re-create what foods Adam & Eve ate, couldn't have been just fruit. Or how about Noah and his family. We know for sure what foods that GOD said NOT to eat which means they could eat everything else. I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.

Oh sweetie, of course you could have used a whisk. Ancient cooks needed only to take a sturdy green stick; split it part way down, multiple times on the same end; and separate the prongs with a stone or splinter shims to have a rather functional cooking utensil.

Sorry - when I see people making food / rolling dough / meat with jewelry on - - I just don-t get it? So much bacteria collects under the rings and on all over. You would have to take them off to clean them anyhow. You would think - Just saying

I am so happy to see Sohla she's so quirky and fun and she seems much happier and seems genuinely excited to check out these ancient cooking techniques. This seems so fun and intriguing to explore where our food comes from

The bread being found in the oven was wildly sad. You spent all that Tim making it getting the starter kneading it letting it rest. The bread was baking smelling all nice and then nobody got to eat it.

An archeologist I know tried to recreate the corriander flavored lamb stew from King Midas' funeral dinner. I helped with making the beer, but recreating the stew would be great to see.

Goat cheese can be very tasty with some buttered bread, olives and herbs. I imagine it goes well with some bread that have a bit more taste, like yours?

I heard Sohla on the Getting Curious podcast and had to check out the episodes of Ancient Recipes. Fascinating! Thank you for bringing history to life!

WOW, Straight up ripping off Max Miller's Tasting History. Not only with the basic premise, but also the food choices now. A&E are shameless.

I've been binging this for a few weeks now, and while they are all great, I finally found something that my non dairy diet will allow: )
