@@jgt2598 Indeed! Although, I must admit, that chef be did say "ancient Roman bread recipe" rather than "making bread in the ancient way". That's why I like Sohla, it's done the way it used to be done. . ✌️🐱
I herd long ago they took a squab and put it in a chicken, put the chicken in a goose then the goose in a goat and baked it in the ground. Can you attempt a version of that? Love your show/C
@@jc3930 If you compare her to the well known BA people then yeah one could see that. But she is s bit more awkward especially when she was on BA cause she didn't have the practice. Now she is finding her stride and people love the bit of awkwardness. It feels more real. 🤷♀️
Sohla is an interesting contrast to Tasting History. She culinarily trained in such a beautiful way, but Max is just such a history nerd so you get interesting quips and all of the research he had from the era. I'd love to see them do one episode together, culinary-history expert explosion.
Most people did not have ovens in their houses so they took their bread to a baker to have it baked. Thus why so many bakeries were needed. People stamped their emblem on it so they were sure to get their bread back.
Oh my God, I actually know why they had so many bakeries! Most people didn't have ovens. Either their apartments were too small, too high up or too rickety. Ovens were shared, sometimes on the first floor of the apartment building, if they were lucky. Otherwise they made the dough and then took it to the bakery and paid them a fee to bake it. Obviously, some folks just bought bread and didn't make their own dough. Also there were grain rations to citizens but that's a whole other story... Anyway, bakeries were busy back in those days. p.s. I'd love to see the earliest chicken pot pie.
Apparently in some societies it was also common for there to be one central mill and you'd bring your grain to be ground into flour and you'd pay the miller with a portion of the resulting flour.
Also in wood-built Roman cities, there was a constant risk of fire. Cooking in houses or apartments was banned in some places, so people had to take their food in containers to a bakery to be even cooked.
@@tessat338 taking food to the bakery to be cooked is still done in morocco in some cases. i stayed with a moroccan friend and one morning we bought ingredients for a tagine, prepped them, but then took them to the local bakery, who put them in the tagine and cook it in the oven after finishing baking the day's bread (when the oven is a bit cooler). and then we went back and picked it up in the evening.
Right? I have 7 bakeries within walking distance from where I live, granted 2 of them are supermarket bakeries, but still, that's already almost 1/4 of the way in my neighbourhood alone, my small hometown easily has 30+ bakeries
dear editors, you guys should record how long are the time sohla took a few moment to comment after tasting her food, and set records everytime loll, like this is probably her new record
Yes! I love that she tastes and savors her food and gives us an accurate opinion but she chews so much!!! I guess that’s healthy though 🤷♀️ timer would definitely be a cute idea!!
This series with Sohla made a subscriber outta me History! I adore her. She is so good at this and with great editing that matches her personality. WINNER.
Lol at Sohla with a dagger. I love her using weapons. Next episode will probably be her making pudding and be like “i feel like they would have used a glaive or some polearm to stir”
18:48 I have a suggestion! I would love to see Sohla make an episode of the origins/history of Native American fry bread. ☺️ Also, great video 💜 I adore this series and the host 🎶
Native American fry bread isn't traditional native food. It was created by native cooks using government surplus flour and shortening that was given to reservations. It's history all right but not necessarily the history you thought it was. It's good, but it's also very unhealthy if eaten on a regular basis.
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
Me: "Wait, so are you a chef chef? Or a pastry chef? Or a bread baker? Or a culinary anthropologist? Or just a really smart and fun RUclips cooking personality?" Sohla: "Yes."
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!
As a request, could you make pemican and acorn "Mush" that doesn't taste as bitter as the stuff we made in third grade. Might as well do Fry Bread too! Edit: I suppose that those are all from different locations and timelines. Fry bread being more modern, acorns from the West and pemican from the plains. All are worth exploring though.
Did you use whole acorns cuz because only half of them are edible the other half goes into the ground to grow the trees that's why the squirrels only eat the sweet half.
As an archaeology/anthropology student who has a deep love of food culture, I am loving the fairly recent uptick of interest in food history channels from the past couple years! Food is one of the most basic requirements for life, yet throughout history we take it and make it fun and colourful and yummy and extravangant and we imbibe it with meaning and significance, we find joy and enjoyment in it and I think that's so cute of us.
*GO SOHLA* *GO HISTORY CHANNEL* Food and cooking and History Channel and a fun chef? Yes! Pompeii has always been one of my favorite subjects! Maybe a Viking dessert next??
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.
for those who enjoy these, i highly suggest watching Tasting History with Max Miller. His channel is very similar and he has a multitude of recipes from throughout history including one similar to this very video!
This is just like Tasting History with Max Miller. I'm OK with that, but kudos to him for doing it on his own with zero budget. The more historical cooking, the better!
@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 !
This is such an added delight to my weekends!!! I would love to see the editors and behind the scenes people credited so we can appreciate their part, too!!
Sohla is so talented! And she looks totes cute with her curls. I would love for ger to do a cookbook with all of the things she has learned while doing this show. With her amazing creativity, we would get the most amazing and unexpected flavors.
cool, great way to teach kids history. do it through cooking, baking ancient recipes aaand boom history becomes instantly visible and grabbable. that is really cool Sohla!
I could literally watch 100 episodes of this. Please keep making them, History Channel!
Same!
Agree! I love this
Yes, one of my favorite segments.
Thanks for watching! We’ll have new episodes of Ancient Recipes with
Sohla every Saturday at Noon!
@@HISTORY Can't wait! This is mashup of two things I love, history and cooking!
Sohla is just a legend. So happy to see her getting the kind of respect and appreciation she always deserved!
That what happens when you're allowed space to shine and be your authentic self. I'm so happy for her!
The snitch
She is selfish, a bully and a race baiter.

True, bakers animals were found dead when the ancient towns were discovered.

In a year Sohla went from being under appreciated by some barely known company to starring on the history channel and I am so happy to see it.
And featured regularly on three other channels!
F conde nast
Bon Appetit is "barely known" ??

Seconded
I need this collaboration in my life!
We have one now, need more!
This happened
I love that they keep giving Sohla blades & the epic music when she uses them.
Sohla created bread destroyed by a volcano by making a volcano of flour and starter. Full circle.
💥
Haha, I had the exact same thought!
Shes amazing. Made me laugh in hellish sitches.
I was about to comment this lol
Thank you for perfectly articulating this lmao

P perhaps that was one of the earliest uses of trademarks?
The production quality is so good on this series
These videos are my new favorite cooking show
This series is so good! Love Sohla. Smart move mixing her with historical cooking :D
For real

Now THIS is my type of show! And of course you nailed the casting with the ever so talented Sohla.
Here to recognize the Tall Sohla joke which will inevitably be underappreciated
The editing is great in these videos in general. Good job to the editor(s)! Just enough fun additions and little jokes without it becoming annoying.
here to add that the Regular-Sized Sohla joke is also underappreciated
I was just looking for a comment like this because I chuckled out loud at it
You should make some of the stews from the Mesopotamian tablets they have at Yale!
LOVING the continuation of Sohla using weapons to do random tasks
🎩👍 I better husband doesn't mess with her the way she can wield these weapons I know I would respect her a lot I just enjoy her work. 🚨😹😂
"30 bakeries seems a lot for a whole city." Germans: "Hold my beer."

For real like I'm french and this just seem awful to me, like man you gotta WALK to get to a bakery in manhatan?
Whoa!!!!! That looked marvelous!!! Would you do some ancient Egyptian food??? I’d love to see (taste some day) what they ate and how they made it!😉😻👍

6:33 Sohla channeling Bob Ross
I love that Sohla is also a slow chewer. We need more slow chewer representation.
hear hear! slow chewers unite! :-D
Did you see Sohla and Mrs music eating gnocchi I mean ancient gnocchi that was very chewy you had to chew it slowly I guess.
love the cuts to lava after sohla says Pompeii
yayyyyy closed captions!!! thank youuuu

Sourdough spelt bread sounds amazing. I would love to try that.
