A Taste of History: Martha Washington Won the War - (S1E1)

Episode 1: Martha Washington is usually portrayed as a dowdy grandmother, but in reality she was a beautiful and passionate wife befitting her handsome George. Martha was also the secret weapon that kept troop morale high during the hard winter’s encampment at Valley Forge. We prepare Martha’s authentic Turkey Stew with Oysters and speak with well-known Martha Washington expert Patricia Brady.

Since finding this show on a twitch channel called "hungry" (you may or may not know) years ago, i try to get my hands on this show. I could not even find it on amazon, here in germany...
But here we are. You are an absolute legend.

Loved Martha Washington plus she also helped the troops at Valley Forge. And was George's best friend and supporter.

Oh i love cooking with beer. Gives such an amazing flavor. I like cooking over my fire pit too. I took my oven grates out and put them over my fire pit. Lol. Works great. Nothings better than that natural wood flavor. I always have fresh oak and hickory falling from my trees and i use it for cooking

This show taught me how to cook. I like that he teaches techniques and procedures and not measurements and jumpcuts. I only cook in cast iron and always sweat until transparent and deglaze. And I get celery root and rutabaga and turnip!

Lovely video. One thing I have to question is the age regression they did of Martha Washington and how accurate it is. The reason I say this is that when a portrait was done, the artist would put their own interpretation of the subject. George Washington for example, he had many portraits done and if you look at each of them, yes you could tell they were the same man but you could see differences in how the artist portrayed him. The same would be true of Martha. So there is no way of knowing how accurate the photo of Martha that was used for regression. George Washington on the other hand had a regression done. His wax figures are displayed at Mount Vernon. His regression was probably pretty accurate as they used a life mask of him that was done in his early 50's. So they had his actual bone structure for use. Look up Houdon's life mask of George Washington. I have read a number of books on George and Martha. I remember a couple of instances were people gave a description of her. One of them was that she was a very pleasant woman but she did 'not have one mark of beauty on her". Another one came from a soldier that saw her when Martha stayed with him during the war, he stated she was "short, thick and very motherly". I don't think age regression that relies on a photo is going to be very accurate as the artist most likely put a bit of his own spin on the subject.
