Until six years ago, I\u2019d never even boiled an egg. Then, I binged a season of \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80063224\">The Great British Bake Off<\/a>\u201d and I was inspired to try my hand at some of the things they were baking. I went from never touching an oven straight to baking a Battenberg Cake, and rather successfully, if I might say. One thing I loved about the show was how they discussed the history of the bakes, and it was actually those stories that inspired me to take up the spatula.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_have_a_favorite_culinary_style_or_era_regarding_food\"><\/span>Do you have a favorite culinary style or era regarding food?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Definitely the Edwardian Era. During that first decade of the 20th century, chefs from France, England and America were in a battle to outdo each other with more and more outrageous creations. Photos of the dinner tables of the Rockefellers or the British Royal Family from the time would astound anyone today \u2014 and many of the decadent pastries one might see in the window of a French patisserie today come out of this era. There were other periods that did the same \u2014 the Tudor Age for instance \u2014 but the dishes of the Edwardian Era are more accessible to today\u2019s tastebuds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_your_passion_translate_into_developing_%E2%80%9CTasting_History%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>How did your passion translate into developing \u201cTasting History\u201d?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The idea actually came from a friend at work. I had been bringing in my historical cooking for a long time when, at last year\u2019s Christmas party, she suggested I film myself making them and discussing the history. I didn\u2019t even see it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> or really get ramped up making episodes until quarantine, when I found myself in need of something to occupy my time. YouTube is a great equalizer. Whether you\u2019re a show with a full crew and budget or just a guy in his tiny kitchen with a cheap camera, everyone starts with 0 views and has to grow from there. That said, if the Food Network is interested, I\u2019m h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y to chat.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote right\"><p>\u2018Until six years ago, I\u2019d never even boiled an egg.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_are_your_influences\"><\/span>Who are your influences?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many. The teaching styles of both Alton Brown on \u201cGood Eats\u201d and Bill Nye on his PBS show in the \u201990s influenced the way I like to teach; more through stories and interesting tidbits rather than pure facts and figures. I also give a lot of credit to Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc, who used to host \u201cThe Great British Bake Off.\u201d When they talked about food history on the show, they did so through wit and wicked puns \u2014 a style I emulate, though without nearly as much panache.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_research_goes_into_a_typical_episode_of_%E2%80%9CTasting_History%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>How much research goes into a typical episode of \u201cTasting History\u201d?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It can vary wildly. With most European dishes, where I have a lot of knowledge going into the subject, I\u2019d say there\u2019s between 10 and 15 hours of research done before I start writing a script. But when I cover a topic I\u2019m less familiar with \u2014 foods and eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty in China, for instance \u2014 I could spend 40 or 50 hours doing research for a 15-minute episode. What takes the longest is finding primary sources. While history books are a great place to start, I like delivering quotes from actual historical figures whenever possible; I feel like it transports you to the past quicker than anything else.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_one_overriding_%E2%80%9Ctheme%E2%80%9D_vis-a-vis_the_questions_and_comments_you_get_from_viewers\"><\/span>Is there one overriding \u201ctheme\u201d vis-a-vis the questions and comments you get from viewers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhen will you do \u2026 (fill in the name of a food)?\u201d The show has found a largely international audience, and I\u2019m happily bombarded with requests to do certain dishes from all sorts of eras and cultures. People are justly proud of their history and their cuisine and want to see it represented.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_you_a_fan_of_the_Food_Network_andor_Cooking_Channel\"><\/span>Are you a fan of the Food Network and\/or Cooking Channel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Oh, yes. \u201cCutthroat Kitchen\u201d was always my favorite. And, while most of his shows are on Fox, I love anything with Gordon Ramsay \u2014 though all the cooking shows I watch on those networks are less to learn, and more to be entertained. To learn about cooking, I have to click over to PBS.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tell_me_a_little_bit_about_your_upcoming_holiday-themed_episodes\"><\/span>Tell me a little bit about your upcoming holiday-themed episodes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I plan on covering a 17th-century pumpkin pie quite unlike the one that you might find on your Thanksgiving table, but just as delicious. I\u2019m also going to show people how to make George Washington\u2019s recipe for eggnog as well as a Medieval gingerbread. Then the piece de resistance will be a Victorian Christmas Pudding; perhaps the trickiest dish I\u2019ve ever made.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/11\/02\/tasting-history-host-max-miller-cooks-up-yesteryear-treats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#&#8217;Tasting History&#8217; host Max Miller cooks up yesteryear treats&#8221; Max Miller is cooking on all cylinders.
