Dinner 200 years ago |1807 Mac n' Cheese| Historical ASMR Cooking

Beef steak pie, mustard greens, and a dish that bears a striking resemblance to what we'd now call macaroni and cheese. See how food has changed while we show you how meals were prepared by those who came before us.

I always include a photo of the original recipe as it appeared in ye old book (or receipt as they were once called!) at the end of my videos 😊

I love the format... no talking, no music. Just preparing the meal. Very nice

[DirtyDan_]

Gotta say, for a video that was made 200 years ago, the quality is awesome

I am 78 years old, so you can imagine how old my grandmother was.
Receipt was the common name for recipe, she used it as well as the other older ladies in her friend circle, and it was spelled that that way in the one cookbook she had passed down from her grandmother..

Salute to the cameraman who went back 200 years in time to record this

[BobSmith-luug]

I know it's romanticizing to think "oh to go back in time" bc life was quite difficult and without medical advancements, but this was just so peaceful. Very enjoyable.

I was skeptical about macaroni being available in 1807, but upon digging I discovered the first pasta factory was built in America in 1798

This channel is wonderful. This is as close as we're going to get to being around back then. I truly appreciate the time and effort you take to present this to us. I love anything historical and this is so cool. Thank you!

I love the old fashioned house and authentic kitchen and stove, its literally like watching it live in the 1800s 😍

[mausomortimer]

This is very beautiful and the historical reconstructions are really accurate. There is only one thing missing to make everything identical to 200 years ago family: 16 children, which would not have been loudly so relaxing.

I just found your channel the other day and I'm obsessed! I've been going back and watching everything! Thank you for all you do, the effort you put in is clear.

Thank you for sharing. I am fortunate to have had the privilege of having a great-grandmother born 1886 passed 1998. Grew up on a 528 acr farm half mile away from her. I used to walk to her house picking up weeds along the way to present a beautiful boutique. Thankfully she shared a lot of cooking/baking techniques. My oldest best friend to this day. ❤️

I have watched a few of your videos now, and they have a calming effect on me. They are almost hypnotic. I can't put my finger on why. I just know that I had a very stressful day the other day, and I said to myself, "Go to YouTube and watch one of those early 1800s cooking videos." And it worked. It was like the stress evaporated.

Those mustard greens are making my mouth water. I love how Justine always smiles when she tastes her food!

I never knew my grandmother, who lived on a very poor subsistence farm in Kentucky. From my mother i do know that this was the way she cooked, using pots hung over a fireplace, rolling out biscuit dough, cutting biscuits with a round cutter, cornbread baked in a skillet, everything prepared by hand, nothing left over after meals, they had no electricity and no ice, so no refrigeration, just cold dry storage for vegetables, and could not afford to let anything go to waste. Kerosene for lanterns at night, outhouses, old catalogue pages for toilet paper. My grandfather who died in 1932 never rode in a car nor heard a radio in his life and had a taste of Kool-Aid only in his last years.

“Historical ASMR cooking.” This is why I love YouTube. 😁Literally everything is here. Great video! 💟

[thesouthpaw]

This is so incredible! Without people like yourself things like this from the past would be lost forever.

[Jrsy_Grl]

I love that you guys teach these old school methods. They're so fascinating and so important to know.

[donnagagne]

I love watching you cook the old fashion way. You make it look easy.

Another wonderful, peaceful demonstration of old recipes. I have to defend Justine, she is not messy. She is precise and careful in what she does. I image a lot of people got burns and other wounds from the sheer labor of cooking back then. Prior to your vids I only thought of pastry as well, pastry. Now I see it is a paste and in fact it's name makes sense. The more you know. Thank you for making such high quality videos.
