Full disclosure, this almost certainly is not a recipe that Cordelia Knott made for her chicken restaurant, this is just a sort of tribute to Mrs. Knott and the Knott’s Berry Farm theme park that my fiancée love to visit. On that note, I’ve always thought it would be really cool for Max to do an episode on Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner and the whole history of Knott’s Berry Farm.

I used all leg/thighs, and celery leaf instead of lovage. Just like Max, my thoughts from the smell and eating it were what am I tasting but in a good way. So neat to experience flavors from a Roman-era recipe.

I'm not like a die hard fan or anything, I've just been watching a few videos recently and I'm kind of curious, is this guy high in every video he does? The man's eyes are almost always glazed over, bloodshot, or dilated. I'm not complaining, I just wanted to know if I'm the only person noticing this.

I came across a tasting history video on my tiktok feed but it's from an account that only posts screen recordings! Help report it pls! https://www.tiktok.com/@tastinghistory_1?_t=ZT-8vFZAKYOZuo&_r=1 The name is tastinghistory_1

We made one of Max's recipes tonight, Roman Stuffed Dates!

From Peter Smith’s “The History of Steam and the East Fife Fishing Fleet”

I've had the tasting history cookbook for ages, and I am so happy I got around to finally making a recipe from it! I made half of my dough for Sally Lunn Buns and the other half for the Semlor. And it blew me away (: think I made a mistake somewhere with the sweet milk (very very sweet, and I think I heated the milk too quickly) but the filling in the Semlor really brought it to another level. This was also my first time baking, so im really suprised at how well these turned out! Definitely will be a repeat once ive gained some more experience.

So I recently made a chocolate version of this cheesecake. The only real difference was adding about 30g of cocoa powder. Worked really well.

I'm planning to make a strawberry version. I have a tin of strawberries in alight sugar syrup ready for this. (It's a leftover from lockdown; we can argue the merits of using tinned fruit, but it's what I've got and I want to use it up.) I will drain off the syrup (which is basically sugar water, so probably not worth keeping for anything else). My rough plan is to pulp the fruit, boil it to reduce the amount of water in there, and then mix it in with the cheese. But that still leaves a lot of extra water in the main mixture.

What can I do to compensate for this extra water?

Edit: Alternate question: If I use the tinned strawberries to make a jam-like topping instead of adding it to the filling, can someone suggest a suitable recipe to use to make it so?

I had to take my own crack at it! Added a few things, some browning sauce and egg noodles, so the end result came out as more of a stew. But, it came out delicious! Personally, I thank my sous chef, pictured.

This whole composition has tears and blood but I'm so glad with the final result -cries in it was hard-

It’s hidden in the back of a shopping center I’ve passed tons of times. I had to order the pancit, of course!

I made Mersu.

I used king Arthur bread flour and only used 75grams honey like another user.

I probably will use the full amount of honey next time.

I tried rolling the dough but ended up making tiny dough balls for each puck and hand forming and wrapping.

I discovered Tasting History in December and I'm still exploring the amazing back catalogue, including the Ketchup series'. I've noticed José refers to Max as immortal because he knows a ridiculous amount of stuff and that's what I say to my partner, for the exact same reason!! 😂😂😂 (He's also fresh faced with beautiful blue eyes!) So. My question is, if time travel exists (which it does, obviously)... Could Max be Count St Germain? It's something I've suspected my partner of but....he's a bit behind on the multi-lingual side. Max, on the other hand, is constantly learning languages!!! ♥️🌟♥️

Howdy, I was looking through some dates for candies today, and I googled: Are Reese's Cups considered buckeyes? Now I get that technically the cups are not really the same but why is the history of the buckeye so strange?

A Buckeye is just rolled peanut butter dipped in chocolate which seems to be an easy recipe most likely created many decades ago; however, the Buckeye Candy Company claims they invented it back in 1919 and a woman by the name of Gail Tabor said she invented the Buckeye in 1965.

What is the truth? I can understand that Gail Tabor might have popularized the candy but why claim to be the inventor?
