My Passion For Ancient Gastronomy

Hello!


This is 'The Delicious Legacy' Podcast and I'm Thom Ntinas

Thanks for tuning in! This is Episode zero, of sorts! An introduction to how I came about -by accident- cooking these amazing recipes!

This is a brand new podcast where we discuss everything about...ancient food and gastronomy!


Tantalising recipes and luxurious ingredients from Classical Greece and ancient Rome. Where do lore, myths and history start, finish and how to untangle them? Was there really stuffed vine leaves back then, and..... feta cheese??? Relishes, sauces, the earliest form of pizza, the first mention of bread used as trenchers...

Can we definitely taste authentic recipes from two thousand years ago?! Will we find out how the food tasted!? Is it to our palette today? We must talk about Garum too! I'll dedicate a whole episode to it! We'll see the lineage from Carthage, Greeks from the Black Sea, Romans, Byzantines, to Thai and Vietnamese people today!

A Greek Gourmand, travels through time...Imagine yourself dining with Socrates, Plato, or Pythagoras! What tasty morsels of food accompanied the conversations of these most significant minds in Western philosophy?Now picture yourself as you sat for a symposium with Cicero, or Pliny the Elder or Julius Caesar. The opulent feasts of the decadent Romans!Maybe, you're following Alexander the Great during his military campaigns in Asia for ten years. Conquering the vast Persian empire, while discovering new foods. Or try and picture the richness of fruits and vegetables in the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon.What foods did our ancestors ate?How did all begin? Who was the first to write a recipe down and why? Sauces, ingredients, ways of cooking. Timeless and continuous yet unique and so alien to us now days. Staple ingredients of the Mediterranean world -as we think now- like tomatoes, potatoes, rice, peppers, didn't exist. What did they eat? We will travel far and wide, reconstructing the diet, the feasts, the dishes of a Greek Philosopher in a symposium in Athens, or a Roman Emperor or as a rich merchant in the last night in Pompeii.....Lavish dinners, exotic spices, so-called "barbaric" traditions of beer and milk, all intertwined...Stay tuned and find out more here, in 'The Delicious Legacy' Podcast!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.
