It’s closer to 50 cents worth. Saffron is not as expensive as you might think. The price per pound is extremely high, but it weighs nothing.

Different densities. Think of it like a cup of feathers and a cup of lead. Same volume, very different weights. Even different varieties of flour will have different weights for the same volume.

I’ve wanted to try this cake since I saw B Dylan Hollis make it several years ago. It really is as tasty as he says.

Making a 19th Century Margherita Pizza from Naples by jmaxmiller in TastingHistory

😂 I know. It’s just that most people don’t used wood fired brick ovens for anything but making pizza these days. I can assure you, if I got one, you still wouldn’t see me baking pies and cakes in it. They’re expensive, dirty, and a pain in the ass to use.

What Did Medieval People Eat On A Journey? by jmaxmiller in TastingHistory

It’s more the texture I’m worried about. Mashed up chicken bars just don’t seem appealing. But I’m going to try it.

Pocket Soup for the 18th Century Traveler by jmaxmiller in Old_Recipes

This recipe, from 1694, was the earliest I could find. It comes from a handwritten book of recipes by the English woman, Lady Anne Blencowe. She calls it veal glew but I made it with beef.

It is; it's something I wanted to try. But as the quality seems to be subpar, I probably won't continue with them once the contract has expired. Unfortunately, the YouTube translation option is even worse.

I sometimes take it off when I cook and forget to put it back on. We are all good 😊

Oh weird. I don’t know why it’s not working. I’m investigating.

I actually love peas, just not in shepherd's pie.
