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..
Also would be closer to the German word and pronunciation of "Rezept". It's really interesting how similar languages evolve separately and slowly drift further and further apart.

@@dorasmith7875 I'm 35, my mother is 65. Her mother (passed 1994) had learned that her brother was severely lactose intolerant by his stomach emptying after eating a Mac and cheese recipe she got from her MIL. Never has had it since.
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.
My Grandmother, that's sadly passed on now, often told me about the corncob dolls they'd hand make, dress with little rags given by her Mother, and play with under the big oak tree out front, so wonderful to hear these older, often wiser, tales from those less chaotic times back when, thank you for sharing your precious memories!

Its actually amazing when you read about the history of food. I am from India and recently I watched a whole series about the different kinds of cuisines in India and it explained how which dish or even ingredients originated from which part of the world and when. Some stories are 1000s of years old.
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 UA-cam and watch one of those early 1800s cooking videos." And it worked. It was like the stress evaporated.

They definitely simplify a lot of the process. Chicken broth would have to be made within the last few days, butter as well and it would have taken a lot of milk to separate all of the cream needed to make all of that butter. The pie crust making process isn’t even shown. This whole meal would’ve taken many days to prepare.
Yeah it's funny how people would complain about how long it would take to make a simple meal, but I mean, most of us would just be sitting on our ass watching TV or not being productive during that time anyway.
Cooking was so integrated into regular daily living-meals/food were much more appreciated back then. Part of me wishes that we didn’t have such fast access to cheap foods, so that we would really appreciate and enjoy the fruits of labor like this. I’ve loved watching your channel grow, and following you guys over here from the other one!
It's all about time. How do you want to spend it? Starting in the 50s, entertainment devices became much more common. Why spend 8 to 12 hours a day to cook when u can now listen to the radio, watch TV, use a phone and talk to someone, or use the internet? As a society, we need more time to do more activities.
I think....after watching several of your cooking videos my favorite part has always got to be that little smile you get right after you take the first bite. One doesn't need words to express how tasty something is!
@@trout3685 i think they meant that its nice to see a video with a different subject other than the Will and Jada escapade. lol. they prob don't watch that stuff, they just might see the caption or headline when they open UA-cam
Lovely, thank you! Also in the same time period was "Macaroni Pudding". Into a very deep buttered baking dish: place cooked macaroni (slightly firm -al dente), in thin layers alternating with layers of cheese slices. In a bowl beat a few eggs with light cream, add seasonings. Pour over the layers. The cream should almost come to the surface. Cover over entirely with more cheese slices. Cover entirely with fine crumbs and grated cold butter. Allow to rest for a half hour. Bake until set and browned: 325° for 40 minutes. This is a Scottish recipe shared by a cook from Kilmarnock.
@@EarlyAmerican I've seen a few of these meat pies prepared in different ways, but I think in mid 1800s with beef (like yours) but layered with thinly sliced onion, served with mushroom ketchup (really anticipating making that mushroom ketchup!)! It sounds so delightful! I really enjoy watching you cook all these wonderful receipts, thank you!
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.
@@januarysson5633 she is probably making small portions for herself and maybe another. But I’m sure back then the portions would be bigger and there would be more cheap food options like cheese, bread. Anything to make larger portions
I love watching you cook. How when you stir things you don't clank the spoon against the pot. How your very precise in how you do things. And how you don't have a receipt right in front of you! We used to live in Williamsburg, Va. And I love anything about Colonial America!
When the caption came up with "Justine is messy", to my brain it sounded just like a line out of a children's picture book! Or perhaps I have just read more than my share of those 😆 I prefer "Justine is human" Have you heard the belief that if you are a messy cook, then you make delicious food? Because you're more concerned with the cooking and flavour than the workspace (not suggesting you should be a slob, being tidy while cooking is still helpful).

Lovely, absolutely lovely ❤️😍 Maccheroni were not even popular in Northern part of Italy back in 1807, so I'm not too sure about that, but I loved it!! 😍
I like how she takes her time as well. First, it is easier to follow what she is doing and process it, and second, she is working with an open fire. That is no time to rush. Fire was a leading cause of death for women a few generations ago. Cooking over open flame while wearing a long dress. I've had my share of burns in a modern-day kitchen, and it was always my fault because I was in a hurry.
I have watched plenty of history shows but i absolutly watching your vids cuz you give us a glimps of how they lived behind closed doors so really all i can say is what you guys do is really awesome
The fact that she went through all this trouble, not just cooking but her clothes, etc., only to record it on her high-tech camera just didn’t leave my mind the entire time!😛 I mean just imagine the contrast. On one hand, she is not using electricity to cook but charging her camera to be able to capture this had me pretty kicked😂
Well, let's face it, these videos aren't from 200 years ago, lol. I personally appreciate everything they do, including the way they dress, down to the way Justine cooks. I have a fascination with living life off the grid and she depicts this very well. I seriously live vicariously through her in every video.
Really! 200 years ago life was hard... But she is so calm while cooking. I like the simplicity, my favorite is the macaroni and cheese. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤🇺🇸

Hey, I m from India. Truly happy to stumble upon this video. I always wondered how life was in the West in olden times, though I watched scenes in movies, those were just scenes, I saw with subtitles 😂. But this is really good, seeing u people cooking these dishes in olden way!!! I was wondering in awe, that the fireplace was used as a kitchen stove (am I right, that's a fireplace, isn't it??) and the mechanisms involved. Thank you😊
Watching this is like therapy to me, love it. Love the heart that’s put into the meals. “Simple times” when we weren’t so busy and can enjoy every second in whatever it is we were doing. Thanks for the content.
I know it was difficult to survive those 18s days but still, I feel like those days were peaceful with no sound pollution, no addiction to materialistic things just kept leading the life with the blessing of natural vibes.
....I keep telling people, ...don't give up a wood burning fireplace for a gas powered contraption! I think it's so awesome to be able to cook with a fireplace, you have down to an Art, Miss Justine ! I've cooked with a fireplace before, as well as huge Wood Burning Stove and although it might not seem as " convenient ", the food ( to me ) tastes better and the satisfaction of knowing one can cook in such a way. 👏🏻🙌🙂😊🥩🍳🥘🍽
The format is amazing: no talking, no music. And it's so asmr relaxing and instructive. God bless 🙌🏻 🙏🏻 ❤️ I am wandering how you came to this idea to do things as our ancestors did it in the good old days? Greets from Paris
This got suggested to me as I was just cooking macaroni and cheese (that I am now eating). It makes you realize cooking was almost a whole different art then, having to tend to the fire and heating the pans and lids like that.. very intriguing.
I’m always curious about how you handle food safety. I know food safety changed a bunch since the 1820s. How do you balance the modern and the traditional?
I've never seen mustard greens cooked that way. I always boil mine and use a smoked meat for flavoring, plus whatever seasoning I like. The macaroni and cheese and the beef pie look tasty. I think I might try making the pie.
This is making me hungry just watching you cooking! :) Its really cool to see how things were done in those days in the kitchen! I'm really impressed on your motivation, strength and your calmness while you work :) Also your costume is really neat too! Love this so much, and I'm glad I found your channel :D Peace!
We visited an historical homestead that is nearby in our local area this past Saturday. Most of it is original, some has been rebuilt (as per the time period-1840’s). It had a kitchen/ hearth similar to the one in these videos. I asked if they ever do cooking there( bc of vids like these and other channels). Once a year, early December they do. I will be there for it. Channels like this is inspiration to seek it out ( and I love history). Thank you for these, they are wonderful !!
I love watching the two of you work together and do everything you do and oh my God girl you make all this look so easy this looks like backbreaking work but wow it's just amazing what you do I thoroughly enjoy watching you prepare all these amazing dishes
I am totally intrigued and addicted to this channel. It combines two of my favorite interests, history and cooking! The amount of time and effort that goes into producing these programs is so appreciated. Thank you Justine and Ron for this channel. I often share these programs with good friends and they love them so much. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding weekend. 👍❤🙏🌎
I love this video of how they used to cook their food 200 years ago. Then at the same time I’m like, damn absolutely no seasoning at all. Greens looked tough, macaroni was dry and the meat pie was meat, salt pepper and water. That’s one tasteless meal. But I bet it was very filling.
@@angelahayes7983 I do find it very interesting that the original pie recipe didn't call for any herbs. Dried herbs were the most common spices (alongside salt and pepper) since they could be grown quite easily at home. Some thyme would have made it a little more flavorful.
@@Shadeadder that’s a good point, maybe this was a basic recipe and everyone added what spices or herbs they had on hand or what they preferred. Another reason could be herbs and spices could of been kept outside all the time and outside weather come change from sunny in spring to nothing is growing in winter.
@@whitedragoness23 Dried herbs were a thing back then. Also, it called for salt and pepper, and on another video she did one recipe suggested parsley as optional, so I'm not sure I buy the idea that the cook is intended to add their own spices. Especially because most cook books were aimed at women learning to cook.
Wow! That pie is perfection! You are really good at using the Dutch oven! Gosh....are mustard greens already harvested back there? The snow just melted. I just planted mustard greens but none are up yet. And macaroni...was dry pasta commercially available in 1820? I used to wonder how macaroni was made & wasn't smart enough to figure it out. Then I finally saw it made at home on "Pasta Grannies". I don't know why I wasn't smart enough to figure it out. I figured they had to drill holes in lumps of pasta......
this and townsend really do make my week so much better. seeing how people lived back when things werent taken for granted and how they made food is so...satisfying.
@@e.urbach7780 I only see a lovely place with fresh air and a peaceful lifestyle. You obviously have to work to be able to enjoy all that but nothing like the stressful polluted city life that poisons your life🌁
I love how these new recipes are shown in an old era way. Though very impractical yet quite enjoyable. Tip: They always used some kind of broth instead of water. It made the meat tender, tasty and delicious.
I never knew macaroni and cheese had been around since 1807 nearly 200 years ago now. I thought it was the Early 1900. Still does the same ingredients .
This looks delicious. Question: Do you two actually live this way 365 days/year or is this more of a weekend thing and you have fulltime jobs outside the cabin?
A question I also have!! I think there obviously has to be modern intervention somewhere… they do upload on to UA-cam after all ;). I like to think that the big house has a time portal in which Justine has travelled through and taken a camera, and she now travels between the eras to give us this content. ;)
@@debralester4606 maybe you’ll stop asking ..you hear cars in the background in some videos so it’s not like their off living in the deep woods somewhere
They live this way 365 days/year. As you already know, Early Americans prided themselves in maintaining a successful and prosperous presence on the internet through their youtube channels and instagram accounts.
Great videos. The food was healthier since no preservatives, but the smoke in the food was not good. Around 1800, life expectancy was around 45-50 since they worked from sun up to sun down, and medical care was almost non-existent. Very hard life.
Keep in mind that life expectancy for that time is skewed by high infant mortality rate. If you made it to the age of 5, you were likely to live closer to 65-75.
@@JustMe54328 i know people still died as adults. but i looked at peer-reviewed research studies that estimated that the average age for those who made it past age 5 was 65-75 (lower end for women due to childbirth skewage)
@@Shadeadder idk which country u r from, but in the tropical regions people frequently died of jaundice, cholera, TB, malaria etc. it might have been different for the temperate areas
I love watching this channel and thinking about how incredible my frontier grandmother's were. All this and babies and toddlers running around, extremes of weather, tooth pain, sickness and death (especially of said babies) and ears! And they survived it all and here we all are now. It's truly amazing!
I never get tired watching this woman cook over an open fire; ahhhh food must taste like embers. Thanks for dinner idea, Mac n' cheese, one baked haha. I had no idea it went that far back though. Love your outfit today too, that hat is so adorable.
Many foods and recipes go back a long time, fish stew, date cake and cheese cake was popular with the Romans for example, though roman cheese cake would have been a pie like dish, not really the cheesecake we know now
Hi. I love that you make the mac & cheese from scratch and with flour covered butter. My guys always buy the Kraft mac & cheese, yet I love the idea of making it more like my Mom did when I was young(but she used pots and pans)
Love your channel so much I wonder how many people experienced terrible burns cooking by the fire this way. I can’t imagine how they kept little curious toddlers and kids away from the fireplace especially if the family resided in a one room cabin. Keep safe.
Hola. ¡Que lamentable que no tenga subtitulos en español!!! Me ilusioné mucho cuando ví su canal, pero si no lo entiendo, no me sirve.

Because it's expensive on our budget to buy mostly fresh ingredients, and it's time-consuming, as many people born after 1980 have to work two or three jobs to make rent.
I love this channel. It is so calming and i just had an 18th century style apron made which i wear every day in my kitchen. My mum is bow watching this channel too and she loves it! ❤❤❤
Oh, no! Just missed the stream! Someone in the comments asked about food safety, which would make for a great subject to cover in another video. I'm aware of salt packing, and sugaring, and sealing with fats.
Back in the 1700s in Massachusetts anyways I learned on a trip to Salem Massachusetts ... I was born and raised in Massachusetts Salem is a tourist town well ...i learned that the pilgrims would dig very deep holes in the ground and store foods that would spoil easily in those holes especially in the summer months I became very interested in this topic and food in this era so these videos are informative to me...great channel ...
@@anitagordon7688 Sounds like an early form of root cellar. I learned in England they would sometimes tie jugs or even meats and lower them into a cold stream. I think the meat was stored for a short time this way, of course, before they cooked it.
I think some people had separate outside kitchen shacks so their houses wouldn’t be hot during the summer. Not sure if you had to be rich for that, tho
I love how simple life used to be. I’ve actually seen recent videos on UA-cam of people from Iran and Afghanistan who still cook in this way but instead of coal they collect wood to burn and cook. How sad is it that this is to tell us how life used to be where as the poor people especially the nomads of Afghanistan and Iran still use this technique with the same utensils
A good cleaning with a (clean) wet rag would be enough to keep a surface "sanitized" As long as you: -use "good" meat -thoroughly cook what you prepare on the surface Modern kitchens with nonstop use can't do something like that though.
I just love your video so much.. it felt like I got back in time. Many times I wish to have lived in that time, without technology and into nature.. Lot of love for you! ❤
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 😊

No music, no talking yet this is the most calming video on UA-cam I ever seen, amazing!
I sure agree !
I think....after watching several of your cooking videos my favorite part has always got to be that little smile you get right after you take the first bite. One doesn't need words to express how tasty something is!
What an incredible break from the Will and Jada Saga. I am so happy I came across this. Thank you bringing us back to the basics ❤️

I simply love this channel. The quiet , the peace, the simplicity, just awesome. I've commented before, it was not an easy life but a pure life.
Lovely, thank you! Also in the same time period was "Macaroni Pudding". Into a very deep buttered baking dish: place cooked macaroni (slightly firm -al dente), in thin layers alternating with layers of cheese slices. In a bowl beat a few eggs with light cream, add seasonings. Pour over the layers. The cream should almost come to the surface. Cover over entirely with more cheese slices. Cover entirely with fine crumbs and grated cold butter. Allow to rest for a half hour. Bake until set and browned: 325° for 40 minutes. This is a Scottish recipe shared by a cook from Kilmarnock.

How delightful a dish so elegant could be so simple. Fascinating even in those times!!
Well said.
@@EarlyAmerican I've seen a few of these meat pies prepared in different ways, but I think in mid 1800s with beef (like yours) but layered with thinly sliced onion, served with mushroom ketchup (really anticipating making that mushroom ketchup!)! It sounds so delightful! I really enjoy watching you cook all these wonderful receipts, thank you!
@@laurasmusings1865 it's so easy and so good. I make the one that Townsend made on his channel.

*The way she just stood there after taking a bite and looking so proud was the cutest thing ever.* 😤
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 don’t think that’s enough food. 😧
@@januarysson5633 she is probably making small portions for herself and maybe another. But I’m sure back then the portions would be bigger and there would be more cheap food options like cheese, bread. Anything to make larger portions
I always think that watching these videos. The slow pace, etc... probably not real
And flies. Don't forget the flies.....

I love your videos. They are so simple. Relaxing and just enjoyable to watch. No extra sound is needed.
Respect to the cameraman for teleporting 200 years ago to capture this.
I love watching you cook. How when you stir things you don't clank the spoon against the pot. How your very precise in how you do things. And how you don't have a receipt right in front of you! We used to live in Williamsburg, Va. And I love anything about Colonial America!
Now That's some good-looking 1800's Mac & Cheese! 😋 Yum! Been loving these videos since last week! So cozy. ^^
When the caption came up with "Justine is messy", to my brain it sounded just like a line out of a children's picture book! Or perhaps I have just read more than my share of those 😆 I prefer "Justine is human"
Have you heard the belief that if you are a messy cook, then you make delicious food? Because you're more concerned with the cooking and flavour than the workspace (not suggesting you should be a slob, being tidy while cooking is still helpful).

Lovely, absolutely lovely ❤️😍
Maccheroni were not even popular in Northern part of Italy back in 1807, so I'm not too sure about that, but I loved it!! 😍
So truth 💜
I like how she takes her time as well. First, it is easier to follow what she is doing and process it, and second, she is working with an open fire. That is no time to rush. Fire was a leading cause of death for women a few generations ago. Cooking over open flame while wearing a long dress. I've had my share of burns in a modern-day kitchen, and it was always my fault because I was in a hurry.
I have watched plenty of history shows but i absolutly watching your vids cuz you give us a glimps of how they lived behind closed doors so really all i can say is what you guys do is really awesome
The fact that she went through all this trouble, not just cooking but her clothes, etc., only to record it on her high-tech camera just didn’t leave my mind the entire time!😛 I mean just imagine the contrast. On one hand, she is not using electricity to cook but charging her camera to be able to capture this had me pretty kicked😂
It is all bcoz of video title
Sooo??? Channel is all about that❤️✅
Well, let's face it, these videos aren't from 200 years ago, lol. I personally appreciate everything they do, including the way they dress, down to the way Justine cooks. I have a fascination with living life off the grid and she depicts this very well. I seriously live vicariously through her in every video.
Really! 200 years ago life was hard... But she is so calm while cooking. I like the simplicity, my favorite is the macaroni and cheese.
Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤🇺🇸
She is eating beef n u love it. If muslim eat it u hate them
@@mehwashz1178 Cows are sacred in India, as a Hindu i never touched beef in my life and i won't.

Hey, I m from India. Truly happy to stumble upon this video. I always wondered how life was in the West in olden times, though I watched scenes in movies, those were just scenes, I saw with subtitles 😂.
But this is really good, seeing u people cooking these dishes in olden way!!! I was wondering in awe, that the fireplace was used as a kitchen stove (am I right, that's a fireplace, isn't it??) and the mechanisms involved.
Thank you😊
I would absolutely love to try some of the food you cook, It looks so damn good and you use the most simple of ingredients and tools!!
Watching this is like therapy to me, love it. Love the heart that’s put into the meals. “Simple times” when we weren’t so busy and can enjoy every second in whatever it is we were doing. Thanks for the content.

I know it was difficult to survive those 18s days but still, I feel like those days were peaceful with no sound pollution, no addiction to materialistic things just kept leading the life with the blessing of natural vibes.
JUSTINE, YOU HAVE MASTERED THE HEARTH COOKING. IT'S ENJOYABLE WATCHING YOU PREP & COOK. IT IS A SKILL, FOR SURE!!!! Do take care. Fl.
....I keep telling people, ...don't give up a wood burning fireplace for a gas powered contraption! I think it's so awesome to be able to cook with a fireplace, you have down to an Art, Miss Justine ! I've cooked with a fireplace before, as well as huge Wood Burning Stove and although it might not seem as " convenient ", the food ( to me ) tastes better and the satisfaction of knowing one can cook in such a way.
👏🏻🙌🙂😊🥩🍳🥘🍽
LOL, our main source of heat is a wood burning stove. But we also have a solar generator and a gas generator for back up 😉😄
You are soooo right. Over the flame tastes the best IMHO

The format is amazing: no talking, no music. And it's so asmr relaxing and instructive. God bless 🙌🏻 🙏🏻 ❤️ I am wandering how you came to this idea to do things as our ancestors did it in the good old days? Greets from Paris
Can we talk on WhatsApp
This got suggested to me as I was just cooking macaroni and cheese (that I am now eating). It makes you realize cooking was almost a whole different art then, having to tend to the fire and heating the pans and lids like that.. very intriguing.
I’m always curious about how you handle food safety. I know food safety changed a bunch since the 1820s. How do you balance the modern and the traditional?
yes, please tell us
That's a good question, something I've been wondering myself
What practices do you see in that aren't modern or safe?
@@carlericvonkleistiii2188 well, where was that meat prior to preparing and cooking. And don't make assumptions, please.
whatever her approach to safety is, she’s obviously not going to poison herself for the sake of authenticity
I've never seen mustard greens cooked that way. I always boil mine and use a smoked meat for flavoring, plus whatever seasoning I like. The macaroni and cheese and the beef pie look tasty. I think I might try making the pie.
Greetings to you from Umm Yazan Palestinian kitchen
This is making me hungry just watching you cooking! :) Its really cool to see how things were done in those days in the kitchen! I'm really impressed on your motivation, strength and your calmness while you work :) Also your costume is really neat too! Love this so much, and I'm glad I found your channel :D Peace!
We visited an historical homestead that is nearby in our local area this past Saturday. Most of it is original, some has been rebuilt (as per the time period-1840’s). It had a kitchen/ hearth similar to the one in these videos.
I asked if they ever do cooking there( bc of vids like these and other channels). Once a year, early December they do. I will be there for it. Channels like this is inspiration to seek it out ( and I love history). Thank you for these, they are wonderful !!
subscribe please
Love the concept, the wardrobe, the house, love everything. You really make me feel that I live in 1800s
This video I would say is one of my favourites. Beautiful wholesome food right there. 👌 Love from Scotland 🏴
I love watching the two of you work together and do everything you do and oh my God girl you make all this look so easy this looks like backbreaking work but wow it's just amazing what you do I thoroughly enjoy watching you prepare all these amazing dishes
I am totally intrigued and addicted to this channel. It combines two of my favorite interests, history and cooking! The amount of time and effort that goes into producing these programs is so appreciated. Thank you Justine and Ron for this channel. I often share these programs with good friends and they love them so much. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding weekend. 👍❤🙏🌎
I love this video of how they used to cook their food 200 years ago. Then at the same time I’m like, damn absolutely no seasoning at all. Greens looked tough, macaroni was dry and the meat pie was meat, salt pepper and water. That’s one tasteless meal. But I bet it was very filling.
Жаль, что резала она всё не на доске...А в то время они были 🤦Просто била мясо и пилила ножом голый стол!😖😰
@@tayakrasa7144 I have no idea what you’re saying
@@angelahayes7983 I do find it very interesting that the original pie recipe didn't call for any herbs. Dried herbs were the most common spices (alongside salt and pepper) since they could be grown quite easily at home. Some thyme would have made it a little more flavorful.
@@Shadeadder that’s a good point, maybe this was a basic recipe and everyone added what spices or herbs they had on hand or what they preferred. Another reason could be herbs and spices could of been kept outside all the time and outside weather come change from sunny in spring to nothing is growing in winter.
@@whitedragoness23 Dried herbs were a thing back then. Also, it called for salt and pepper, and on another video she did one recipe suggested parsley as optional, so I'm not sure I buy the idea that the cook is intended to add their own spices. Especially because most cook books were aimed at women learning to cook.
The Best ASMR Yet! Very soothing and relaxing to hear and watch. Perfect 👌
Everything looked so good to eat! My mouth is watering for all of these dishes!
Me also🤤
Wow! That pie is perfection! You are really good at using the Dutch oven!
Gosh....are mustard greens already harvested back there? The snow just melted. I just planted mustard greens but none are up yet. And macaroni...was dry pasta commercially available in 1820? I used to wonder how macaroni was made & wasn't smart enough to figure it out. Then I finally saw it made at home on "Pasta Grannies". I don't know why I wasn't smart enough to figure it out. I figured they had to drill holes in lumps of pasta......
I've never seen someone make a cold roux before; massaging flour into cold butter. Makes sense though. Off to Frontier Patriot to watch y'all eat?

Nothing is more peaceful and relaxing than simple life on a farm🌄
True
It's hard work every day and falling into bed exhausted every night.
Relaxation, on a farm, is for the occasional momentary break, or for guests, only! There's too much work to be done to keep a farm going!
@@e.urbach7780 I only see a lovely place with fresh air and a peaceful lifestyle. You obviously have to work to be able to enjoy all that but nothing like the stressful polluted city life that poisons your life🌁

It's like I'm traveling in time. Nature, the sound of fire, gives me peace.
Just like when you are camping, everything tastes better over an open fire. ❤️
I have been this open flame cooking for a couple of months and I haven't been camping. There is just something about the flame 🤷
Greetings to you from Umm Yazan Palestinian kitchen
honestly probably way better than all the processed foods we eat now
I love how these new recipes are shown in an old era way. Though very impractical yet quite enjoyable.
Tip: They always used some kind of broth instead of water. It made the meat tender, tasty and delicious.
she used chicken broth
@@christinaspurgeon9564 My dear, it's written water just below it and broth is never translucent. I don't think she used chicken broth.
@@aveaillium8754 she used broth.....just watched it myself
@@everythingval5481 are you guys trolling? she definitely used water
I never knew macaroni and cheese had been around since 1807 nearly 200 years ago now. I thought it was the
Early 1900. Still does the same ingredients .
I would love to have a open fireplace that worked
This looks delicious. Question: Do you two actually live this way 365 days/year or is this more of a weekend thing and you have fulltime jobs outside the cabin?
A question I also have!! I think there obviously has to be modern intervention somewhere… they do upload on to UA-cam after all ;). I like to think that the big house has a time portal in which Justine has travelled through and taken a camera, and she now travels between the eras to give us this content. ;)
@@ic1815 dumb
I have asked that same question at least 3 times no answer.
@@debralester4606 maybe you’ll stop asking ..you hear cars in the background in some videos so it’s not like their off living in the deep woods somewhere
They live this way 365 days/year. As you already know, Early Americans prided themselves in maintaining a successful and prosperous presence on the internet through their youtube channels and instagram accounts.
雰囲気がとにかく好きだし、メニューの選び方もセンスがありすぎる…

Very quality video .The sound was very comforting ,specially fireplace sound...✌️
Great videos. The food was healthier since no preservatives, but the smoke in the food was not good. Around 1800, life expectancy was around 45-50 since they worked from sun up to sun down, and medical care was almost non-existent. Very hard life.
Keep in mind that life expectancy for that time is skewed by high infant mortality rate. If you made it to the age of 5, you were likely to live closer to 65-75.
@@Shadeadder - True..that was the average.
@@Shadeadder nahh, many women died in childbirth and many people from TB, sepsis and simple infections.
@@JustMe54328 i know people still died as adults. but i looked at peer-reviewed research studies that estimated that the average age for those who made it past age 5 was 65-75 (lower end for women due to childbirth skewage)
@@Shadeadder idk which country u r from, but in the tropical regions people frequently died of jaundice, cholera, TB, malaria etc. it might have been different for the temperate areas
I love watching this channel and thinking about how incredible my frontier grandmother's were. All this and babies and toddlers running around, extremes of weather, tooth pain, sickness and death (especially of said babies) and ears! And they survived it all and here we all are now. It's truly amazing!
Adoro!!!!! perfeito o preparo dos alimentos, a cozinha...tudo!
هذا لطيف جدا ورائع ليت حياتي تكون هكذا في هدوء وسلام بعيدا عن الضوضاء والبشر وكل شيء مزعج
I never get tired watching this woman cook over an open fire; ahhhh food must taste like embers. Thanks for dinner idea, Mac n' cheese, one baked haha. I had no idea it went that far back though. Love your outfit today too, that hat is so adorable.
Many foods and recipes go back a long time, fish stew, date cake and cheese cake was popular with the Romans for example, though roman cheese cake would have been a pie like dish, not really the cheesecake we know now
Hi. I love that you make the mac & cheese from scratch and with flour covered butter. My guys always buy the Kraft mac & cheese, yet I love the idea of making it more like my Mom did when I was young(but she used pots and pans)
Love your channel so much
I wonder how many people experienced terrible burns cooking by the fire this way. I can’t imagine how they kept little curious toddlers and kids away from the fireplace especially if the family resided in a one room cabin.
Keep safe.

Old story of my great grandma's tying the kids to furniture..leading strings.

I also just found this channel and I love it. It's relaxing and interesting.
I couldn't but think on how most of the younger generation have no clue on how to cook like this. Always appreciate watching.
Thank you both.
Because it's expensive on our budget to buy mostly fresh ingredients, and it's time-consuming, as many people born after 1980 have to work two or three jobs to make rent.
Maybe the older generation could teach them
We live in times where most people have to work two jobs to be able to afford somewhere to live. Nobody has time to cook like this
I love this channel. It is so calming and i just had an 18th century style apron made which i wear every day in my kitchen. My mum is bow watching this channel too and she loves it! ❤❤❤
Oh, no! Just missed the stream! Someone in the comments asked about food safety, which would make for a great subject to cover in another video. I'm aware of salt packing, and sugaring, and sealing with fats.
Back in the 1700s in Massachusetts anyways I learned on a trip to Salem Massachusetts ... I was born and raised in Massachusetts Salem is a tourist town well ...i learned that the pilgrims would dig very deep holes in the ground and store foods that would spoil easily in those holes especially in the summer months I became very interested in this topic and food in this era so these videos are informative to me...great channel ...
@@anitagordon7688 Sounds like an early form of root cellar. I learned in England they would sometimes tie jugs or even meats and lower them into a cold stream. I think the meat was stored for a short time this way, of course, before they cooked it.
@@sanguinelynx I found it quite interesting the different things they would try to save on costs..
*Can you imagine cooking like that in the summer!!* 🥵
My exact thoughts, i think i wouldve rather not eat omg
Verdade.
🥵🔥
I think some people had separate outside kitchen shacks so their houses wouldn’t be hot during the summer. Not sure if you had to be rich for that, tho
Yup, I’m from India and it’s waay hotter and people still cook this way sometimes.
The reason I can't get enough of this bc it is relaxing. There is nothing like home cooked food and just peace.
While I was watching this, I was carried away by the atmosphere of the ancient times which was really simple, really beautiful
Parece uma pintura... Belíssimo 😍🇧🇷
Pensei o mesmo
I love how simple life used to be. I’ve actually seen recent videos on UA-cam of people from Iran and Afghanistan who still cook in this way but instead of coal they collect wood to burn and cook. How sad is it that this is to tell us how life used to be where as the poor people especially the nomads of Afghanistan and Iran still use this technique with the same utensils
How would a housewife of this time period have sanitized the wood table after cutting and pounding the raw meat?
Bacteria doesn't survive on untreated wood, so there wouldn't be any need to sanitise.
Wipe the wood clean then salt it and scrub that will sanitize it. Salt is great
Scrub with salt, i believe...and maybe lemon juice if they had it
Maybe taking it outside and pouring hot water on it?
A good cleaning with a (clean) wet rag would be enough to keep a surface "sanitized"
As long as you:
-use "good" meat
-thoroughly cook what you prepare on the surface
Modern kitchens with nonstop use can't do something like that though.
This is my first time here in the channel, and I'm totally loving the content. You got a new subscriber ❤️
The fact i'm not even american but still love this videos is hilarious-
I just love your video so much.. it felt like I got back in time. Many times I wish to have lived in that time, without technology and into nature.. Lot of love for you! ❤
