I always ate take out and never learned to cook until at age 52 the pandemic struck in 2020. Even my own culitary life is influenced by history. I have been learning since. I can cook some very decent delicious dishes now. I understand the fundamentals when before I never gave much thought to eating. This culinary food history series is very enjoyable and 'enlightening' to me in 2024. Thank you to all who produced it.
Same here!being sick n not able to go out always or sick of the 4 meals to order out at...im learning at 35..its not as easy as I thought glad im learning tho!😂
31:23 speaking of venice and veronese, there is a lovely vessel form in traditional venetian blown glass named after him. they really did culturally interweave the fine arts into just about every aspect of their lives. as a glassblower im grateful.
32:10 Indeed, that particular goblet shape is known as a tazza in venetian glassblowing, and is taught today quite as it was then. venetian gobletry is a technical foundation that serves many glassblowers extremely well even if they dont make goblets. what a fascinating insight into that time period. i too could stare at this for days. i am now a glassblower and used to be a line cook in restaurants. that image is amazing.
The fork had been around since ancient times and the first person who actually introduced the fork to medieval Northern Europe was Empress Theophanu of the Eastern Roman Empire. So its not a 15th century invention its been around since the ancient Greek times. So it is not a new thing. I guess this documentary is really out of date if they are stating that nonsense.

"...one has to master how to use the fork elegantly..."
me: *childhood flashbacks of being drilled on how to master the chopsticks*
Cross contamination must be very common in the kitchen
32:50 I bet the people at these banquets came out with massive cavities in their teeth for eating too much sugar
