Hi I am Ann Reardon, How to Cook That is my youtube channel it is filled with crazy sweet creations made just for you. Join me for creative cakes, chocolate & desserts, new videos on Fridays.
In this episode I take a book from 1750 and create the recipes it specifically gives for rich people and poor folks. Step inside history and imagine how you would go if this was all that you had to eat. Hard times in 1750 are much harsher than 'hard times' today in most western countries.

“Did he get paid for taking the walk?”
Words that started revolutions 😂
I mean we're talking of a Duke, he's literally a landlord,he gets paid by his land he got from his father XD
@@krankarvolund7771 Paid for being born to his daddy? Doesn’t that sound worse?
@@somehowaturtle9802 It is indeed ^^
@@somehowaturtle9802 Yeah. Imagine feeling entitled to rule a country just because you're rich just because your father was rich.
The real answer to how do you get rich? Have an ancestor who was close friends with William the Conqueror.
“I’m poor by the way” hit me like a rock. I laughed at first and then settled with the knowledge that I too am poor.
You have been a subscriber for 11 years
Fortunate to read and write
Have a phone
Have wifi to use.
Your not poor
Just ungrateful
@@Ms.TCassie And your response shows you have no idea what being poor looks like in the modern world.
@@Ms.TCassie lol
@@Ms.TCassiewow ... You realize people who have no home can go to a library to use the Internet, use a friend's phone or computer, and the gov't in the US provides free smartphones and phone service, right? No? Let's not forgot that smartphones are actually crazy easy to come by... I've passed on several of them to people who needed one and I have several more waiting for homes. All you need to do is find a place that has WiFi which is another very common development of the modern world that you apparently aren't aware of.
They also may have recently run into hardship, meaning they could still have their phone from better times.
You sound so ignorant and judgemental. Not to mention dumb... All of these possibilities came to mind faster than I could write them, yet you were so confident in your conclusion that someone using the Internet in freaking 2024 couldn't possibly be poor but is just ungrateful 🙄 gross.
I have all those things and only 11.67 in my Bank account in poor. @@Ms.TCassie
I have never repeated "MORE BUTTER???" this many times in one recipe 😭
Julia Child approves this message 😂
Wait till you find out how much butter is in a croissant.
@@a_meme_name I swear most people don't know what they're eating.
Seriously 😂 with the price of butter today I'd have to take out a loan to make that
That pastry recipe was very similar to one for making croissants.
« When I was a kid… which wasn’t 1750 by the way » 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That got me too! Thanks for the clarification, Dave 😆
Best line! 😂😂
I was born 1758. It was a great time to be born.
He almost fooled me😂
Yes, dave thanks for the clarification. I wouldn’t have known if you said it.😂😂😂😂
As an engineer, these old books that say "cook for SOME time" or specify quantities as "SOME" make me have panic attacks 😂😂😂
Yes they are definitely relying on you having made them before... which kind of defeats the purpose.
would they even have an accurate or standardized way to measure amounts or time?
I don't think clocks were widespread enough, and using containers to represent amounts is also dodgy (how much spoon is a spoonful?).
but I guess they could have sand hourglasses for fixed times, maybe.
IKR?
“A good amount”,
“Until enough”,
“in the usual way”,
not the most helpful of instructions 😂
Poor people did not have a reliable source of heat to cook their food or reliable measurement tools. This comment is just so classist and self-entitled 😡
@@benjaminshinar9509 One of the medieval methods for time, at least, was prayers. They had a very defined cadence, so if you were used to them, you could know that doing, say, '3 hail maries' would be a set amount of time.
Dave showing compassion and speaking up for food equality is such a heartfelt and important message. It really puts another spin on this video that you don't expect when going in.
In my country right now, there's a big push on the grocery industry, and calling them out for price gouging. The comparisons to pre-pandemic prices vs now is astounding, and blaming it on inflation is just false.
"Having dignity no matter your station in life" is such a good way of putting it.
Yeah I’m glad he said that
Canada?
@@bunkertons That's what I thought. I's definitely what's happening in New Brunswick
Here in Ontario too. I point blank refuse to give Joel Lawblaw any more of my money. I would rather be inconvemiemced and go without than help him expand his monopoly on our food system
I am from Canada, and blaming the grocery stores is just as false as blaming only inflation... inflation plays a big part, but so do the other costs, like the extra cost in gas and other fuels (a lot of which is due to added carbon taxes and other fees, as well as the the government restriction on things like fertilizer). Raising the price of fuel raises the prices of every single step, heating the barns (especially for meat or crops grown indoors), growing the food, harvesting the food, processing the food (which adds more costs if it needs to be packaged), and then shipping the food. The extra cost of fuel adds money to every single step along the way, which ultimately raises the cost of the food.
Grocery stores didn't just decide, all at once, all together, to raise prices for selfish reasons. However, the government was warned repeatedly that these costs and raised taxes (as well as restrictions on things like fertilizer) would also raise the prices of food. The government didn't care. They decided to push the carbon taxes, as well as other costs and fees, which raised the price of food.
So, put the blame where it actually belongs, on the government. The governmental attacks on the fuel industry, as well as the taxes added to anyone who uses those fuels, affect everyone. It raises the cost of pretty much everything, including food.
Love how vague old recipes are "some time", "several addditions", "at discretion".
ikr😭😭
And that's if you read it right. "fome time", "feveral additions". If Anne was dyslexic we'd have an entirely different video😂
...this is how I tell people how I make food because I can't follow recipes. It made perfect sense to me 😂
I imagine because a lot of it depends on weather or not you had all the ingredients as well
@bsnufkin929 the old timey f looking s is my nightmare as a dyslexic 😂
"Boil them 'till enough." How the great fire of London started 😅
How the French Revolution started
Actually it began in a bakery, but I get the joke.
The 200 year old recipes is hands down my favourite series on this channel.
I like the cake rescues as well.
Maybe you would enjoy the channel Tasting History or Townsends
I really like it too
same
Oh yeah. The Victorian Way is another favorite. Adore Mrs. Crocombe.
I liked Dave's speech at the end. Everyone deserves access to affordable, delicious food no matter what income bracket they're in.
Your boys are wonderful in their honesty and willingness to participate. Love them. Dave's little monologue at the end had tears in my eyes. He's such a good man, you both are good people and you're raising wonderful young men. Thank you for being here, Ann. I love spending time with you all.❤
Hear hear! Loved your comment and totally second it!
Same. 😊
👏👏👏💖💖💖💖
My feelings as well. Wonderful family.
My sentiments as well. ❤❤❤❤
4:17 "Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility" Caught the Jane Austen quote!! Very clever!
i like the detail of them wearing costumes 😭 such a cute touch
If you like that detail, then why did you use the stupid weeping emoji?? Such a "cute" 🙄 touch should have called for at least a smiling face, not something bawling its head off!
@@jb6712what is ur problem mate
@@jb6712 hey, when ppl use this 😭, its more of an exaggeration of an emotion. no im not crying or sad about it, its just that cute. hope this helps!
@@jb6712 damn you're a weirdo
@@jb6712wow dude, touch some grass. and also learn to appreciate the way emoji use changes with time and context.
This makes me really appreciate living in a place and time where food is relatively cheap and abundant. I'm going to do my best to complain less from now on.
I grew up with the conception that we were "poor". But after some medieval fair and school tie-in, i basically ended up concluding I'm better off now than any medieval duke or king was. I have access to all manner of delicacies from all over the world, safe in-door heating and plumbing, free healthcare etc. etc.
Long live my modern abundant lifestyle and may those currently without experience it too someday
It just goes to show how rich we are today.
@@chiichan3774
Imagine if you bought $50-worth of spices, before stepping into a time machine- you would be able to flog them for a fortune - & all we have to do is catch a bus to the nearest shopping centre, instead of spending months or years at sea...
I often reminded my sons, when I could not afford to buy them expensive things they craved that-with indoor plumbing, hot and cold water, refrigeration, air-conditioning, TV, DVDs, fine foods from all over the world-we lived far better than kings could right up to modern times.
Free from parasites too. When Thomas Becket was murdered witnesses reported that the lice leaving his cooling corpse in such numbers looked like a rippling sheet on the table whereon his body lay.
They tended to have more good and jewels and more ornate mansions on huge estates, with many servants, however. Most modern people still can't afford to compete in that area. Even so, I'd still take my modern amenities/conveniences and food choice over a crown and servants any day of the week.
I mean
We have the audacity to call plain and boring things "vanilla"
I just LOVE the Reardon family. Dave's sentiments at the end were genuine and really lovely to hear. 💖
Really though. Very genuine, heartfelt, and true.
although she could say more, im curious about what she has to say
"might need a lil' bit of a bigger bowl"... Bless his little mashed potato loving heart! 💞 A lad with a positive outlook, and I'm sure we all hope that the dishwasher job leads to a dream job 🤞
Friedrich Engels said the potato was as important as iron for it's historical revolutionary role in society.
I always keep a bag of potatoes down on the bottom shelf of my pantry. And just in case, a bag or box of instant on an upper shelf. Love potatoes!🥔
Huh. Interesting. Proves even a broken clock shows the correct time twice a day.
@@Cationna That... would depend on the type of clock. A digital clock could be military time. Anyways, dumb comment just wanted to poke fun at you lol.
@Cationna don't be daft. Engels was right about just everything.
I bet you haven't even read his stuff yet you feel so free to express your prejudice against his work.
The recipes remind me of the way my grandma wrote them. She just listed ingredients, didn't give any specific instructions or times (sometimes not even the exact amount of anything). One cookie recipe I'll never forget had a list of ingredients (no amounts) followed by "cook until golden"
One of my grandmother's recipes for apple square is basically "take some apples, make a pie dough, add the apples and cook"
We had to work backwards from what we knew it was like once made to get something resembling the right ratios.
My grandmother used to make candy from potatoes. I've made it for my family, but my grandchildren don't like it as much as I used to. My kids liked it though. I'm happy to share the "recipe" if anyone is interested. I have it in quotes because it's more just instructions than a recipe.
I’d love to see the recipe
Please share
Oh yes please!
@@rachelanderson4325 get a fist size Irish potato, those are the russet kind, like smaller versions of baking potatoes, wash it but don't peel it, and boil it whole until it's soft. Take it out of the water and let it drain and cool, then let it sit until it is cold. Peel the skin off and then mash it in a glass or plastic bowl (don't use metal or it will taste metallic). Get a regular size box of 10x confectioners sugar (powdered sugar) and start slowly stirring it into the potato little by little. It might seem to get a little liquidity as you do this but keep adding more. If the potato isn't cold when you start, it won't firm up. You will likely use the entire box, sometimes more or less depending on the size of the potato. You want it to thicken up like a dough. Eventually you will have to take it out of the bowl and start adding the sugar and kneading it in.
When it's a good thick dough consistency, knead it a bit to smooth it and then roll it out in a rectangle on wax paper. You want the potato dough to be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Spread peanut butter on that, then roll up like a jelly roll and sprinkle more powdered sugar on the outside of the roll so it doesn't stick, then wrap it in the wax paper and put it the fridge for several hours until hard. Slice and serve.
You can add food coloring or you can use Nutella or whatever you wish inside, as long as the consistency of the filling is the same.
It's very sweet and not very good for you, but it's really good.
I don't know where my grandmother got the recipe from exactly, but she was born in 1910 and raised on the South Carolina coastal area, and she said she ate this when she was a little girl. I grew up in Alabama, and she was living there by the time I was born.
Try it, you might like it, and if not, at least it's not a very expensive thing to try and dislike. I'm sure there are tons of variations that you can think up.
Let me know if you like it please.

I grew up poor and I wish my mother had some of these recipes!🤣 She did her best though, she'd catch a fish, put some tomato paste with water over it and cook it on the grill. I still cannot think of that without feeling rather green, it was awful, but we ate it like it was a delicacy! Once, our pet rabbit disappeared and we had "chicken" for dinner the next night ☹ but again, no one complained and we ate every bite. We learned the hard way that you eat what's before you and you don't complain.
Your boys are such sweet young men. They may not have liked the poor food, but they gave it a try and gave honest opinions. One can tell that they have lovely parents.💚
.. What country did you live in?
@@jacobp.2024 the US. Why do you ask?
@@cyn4476 Did you have EBT or a local food bank?
@@jacobp.2024 I don't know why we didn't have welfare at that point. I was pretty young. Everyone was poor where we lived, I don't know about food banks or church donations, what might have been available. I do know that our neighbors gathered (stole?) pallets by the rail yard for cook fires and let us cook on their grill. Once in a while, they'd have vegetables and would share. We had a fruit tree, I think it was peach or apricot, we gave them fruit in exchange.
Later on, she was working three jobs (one full time, two part time) and was told she made too much money. When I was ten, I started getting odd jobs to give my brother better food, clothes and gifts at Christmas. Babysitting, mowing lawns, newspaper delivery when I was old enough and bought a bike.. anything I could do to help keep him fed and in decent clothes that fit!
@@cyn4476 Thank you for sharing this. It must've taken a lot of strength making the best of that situation, I hope you and your brother are doing better now
I absolutely love how Dave was taking on the persona of his character so well! Looks like all the guys enjoyed participating!
Yessssss! Finally a 200-year-old recipe. Missed these so much 😭
I love Ann's accent when she's reading these old recipes. Really sells the old timey dialect.
LOVE how everyone, even the cook (Ann), is dressed for the theme 😂 Also, it‘s amazing to me that the 300-year-recipe for puff pastry is still pretty much what we do today
I loved the fathers anecdote when he remembers his childhood and that the potatoes were a very conforting food for him, you can hear the nostalgia in his voice, that he is remembering one of the best times of his life.
This just makes me so thankful to be able to purchase food I didn’t have to toil over or grow, and it’s so much better than what people used to have to eat. We are truly blessed!!
And we have shelter, heat, electricity and indoor plumbing.
@@Gertyutz Until we haven't & thousands of citizens of the richest nations suddenly live in cars & under bridges .. >_
Fun! As someone who's worked on transcribing the original (handwritten) recordbook from my church (starting 1796), the struggle with typed archaic language was amusing.
Very interesting to see! I once went through a very rough month where I was eating a lot like a poor 1700s person, however I very much appreciated my modern day access to bouillon powder because that made everything a lot tastier
these historic recipe videos are delightful! i wish you'd do the whole book of rich vs poor. it's so rare that we get to hear from the poor themselves how they got on. my dad's family was poor, and your potato dinner reminded me of a story i only heard recently from one of my many aunts on that side: my uncle invited her to dinner at my grandma's table, and they started passing around a big bowl of potato salad...she took a spoonful or two, as you do when you expect there to be a "rest of the meal," and my uncle asked in dismay, "is that all you're having?" - because that bowl of potato salad was all there was.
I love how the dressing up is, while probably not strictly necessary, even so absolutely wonderful.
That book is a fascinating historical document. I do find it interesting how relatively bland and unseason the rich person's diet was -- all the herbs and onions went into making the poor person's food.
I've just had this video come up in my notifications and im so happy that today was a video day; i have my biology exam today, and your videos have honestly helped me with some parts of biology, and they really cheer me up, so it's nice to know that there's something for me to look forward to when i go home! thanks for making such great content Ann!!
All the best in your exam franubear
Good luck with your exam! Remember to breathe and relax your face muscles if you feel tense.
Good luck on your exam!
I cant get enough of her family always helping out with her videos. They're always such kind, empathetic people. We should all be so lucky to be surrounded by such love.
Wow! I was waiting eagerly for the 200 year old series. Probably my favourite series from this channel after debunking ☺️
Mine is the Miniature Cooking videos - so cute!
Dave's wholesome ending is so wonderful. Definitely keep him around.
Coming to this video right after tasting history with max miller feels like watching British documentary right after the US version
Lol! 😂
But HEY, we resent/resemble that remark! 😂(If you’re talking about the same guy I’m thinking of …watching and listening to his videos is entertaining, but intense! 🤪
we need a collab!
Nope, I had the wrong guy. I was thinking of B. Dylan Hollis. Crazy guy but funny.
@@Beezer.D.B. Yeah, he's pretty intense compared to Max. I think a collab between Ann and Max would work pretty well. Even if he didn't get to travel to Australia for it, I know @AtomicShrimp has done some remote collabs with @AfricaEveryday.
The way I laughed when your son described that first dish as the water from work! 🤣😂🤣😂
BTW, for those who don't know, "bruised groats" are a cereal grain, and the "bruised" bit comes from "burghul" (now often called "bulgar") which is a persian word meaning "bruised grain" (aka "bruised grain" is a direct translation). A groat is a hulled kernel of various cereal grains, such as oat, rye, and barley, etc, but is usually referring to a wheat berry. A groat is therefore a whole grain that still includes the cereal germ and fiber-rich bran portion of the grain, as well as the endosperm (which is the usual end-product of milling into flour). A groat therefore is usually a wheat grain/berry that has somewhat been steamed or parboiled before selling, which is then dried and, sometimes, ground. It is a grain that therefore requires little preparation when compared to a generic uncooked grain. These grains usually have a chewy texture and a light, nutty flavour (think the barley you put in soup as another example).
Also, if you wanted to improve your everyday porridge (americans call it "oatmeal" I think?), try using just oat-bran instead of rolled or steel-cut (or instant) oats, as it's smoother, has a much deeper, almost sweet flavour, and is also much higher in fibre (and has more nutrients retained too).
Last fact you might not know; "corn" used to be a word interchangeable with "staple grain", and didn't mean "maize" or "sweetcorn" until the late 1800's or even up to WW1 in some places! So if you ever read in the bible and see the word "corn" used, it just meant the staple grain of the specific time/place, which was easier to say instead of having to specific unique or idiosyncratic grains that readers might not have otherwise been aware of.
H2CT is my comfort series, I'm having a tough time with my health but your videos always make me feel brighter 😊
Take care of yourself. For more comfort watching, look at Emmymade, too. Gentle and interesting and she and Ann have referred to one another in their videos!
Love the videos where you bring the whole family in! I’m sure Dave is liking not being the only forced taste tester in videos where it isn’t your recipes 😂
Yep, the boys are finally more of age to participate in the potential great/awful flavor risk lol It’s so sweet to see though
I got clogged arteries just watching all that butter go in.😂
I wait eagerly for Ann's videos. Always such a delight to watch
I love when your family interacts with you on video content!
The poor man's dinner almost made me cry 😭 😭 😭 😭
Heartbreaking yeah.
Oh yeah for real it hurts to watch.
I've had some "struggle meals" in my time but gosh, looking back on a handful of peas in tuna pasta with such fondness right now.
@@Taurusus I remember having potato soup at the end of the month many times, which was pretty much the same ingredients only with salt, pepper, and onions.
@@splendidcolors Seriously - when I grew up in Hamburg, a common lunch dish cooked by middle class mothers was "carrots and potatoes". Which was basically chunks of carrots & chunks of potatoes cooked in salted water or with a bouillon cube, and a bit of oil or butter & a sprinkle of parsley added. Was delicious. I still make it sometimes. Potatoe soup used to be one of my favourite dishes. I think I shall return to plainer cooking - saves money, is healthy, easy & tastes good..
More please! Yes, please! Ann, I really like the spirit of this production! It is light but also substantive!
I really thought Dave's childhood was in the 1750s... No wonder he has such a strong stomach.
He does look a little vampiric here...
Maybe he's a vampire who is really good at hiding it
This made me think how a great a collab between you and Tasting History would be! My 2 favorite cooking channels
The old timey voice 😂😂
The way this cookbook is worded makes me want to read it for entertainment purposes. Probably, that’s just you and your awesome family making it seem so interesting! Thanks again for another great video.
ok now i see why royalty and the aristocrats had gout haha
imagine you’ve never made gruel before, the internet isn’t even a thought yet, and your new cook book says “boil until enough”
The fs in old English text are actually not fs, but a 'tall' s. They were used when the sound was soft, like a z sound at the end of cause. I think there's something about the printing press that's beyond my historical depth, but I got that much at least. I love your videos!
Ooh, that reminds me of the ß in German! It's kinda the opposite actually, it's used for a sharp s sound without shortening the vowel that comes before it :)
@@Lazzuuuß is actually derived from ſs, a long s followed by a short s, join them together fast and you get ß.
I've never heard that it marked a different sound, I'm pretty sure it was just typographical. Short s came at the ends of words and possibly some other places.
Yeah, the ß actually started as a ligature of a long s followed by a z. ſz -> ß
The costumes made this video extra good. Ann really goes above and beyond for her viewers. The whole family are such good sports joining in X
Oh yay. Another 200 year old recipe video. My favourite ones.
Ann, your demos of the recipes and the reactions of Dave and sons are magnificent. I truly appreciate their honesty.
This was great, I always love your historical videos. They are well researched and very enjoyable
Onion oatmeal. I'm done.
I just remembered your channel and came back to visit, I LOVED your videos as a kid who was very into baking. Now I’m an adult living on my own (around the same age as your kids). Crazy to see how we’ve grown up together.
The beating of the butter! I had forgotten that sound when the other bakers were making croissant dough.
I must say, these clips with you and the family are by far my favorite! Just having them all there, fun times, reactions and these old recipes that really makes you think on how good you have it today! Well done Madam, well done!
Imagine being as much of a legend as Dave is. Incomprehensible
I remember making pastry with chunks of butter put on and then, folded, rolled, more butter, more rolling. The butter was nowhere near the amount you put in, but the pastry was lovely and filling. I I’m 60 now, so it was about 40yrs ago. I was hoping you would do some desserts. 😋
I can’t get enough of these old recipes. Keep em coming Ann! ♥️👩🍳♥️
The Duke would return "for a tea breakfast with his Dutchess and daughters consisting of tarts"
....glad to hear his wife & daughters enjoyed themselves : )
The comment at the end was so heartfelt. You’re a beautiful family. Yes I’d definitely enjoy more of these videos
You know you're gonna have a good day when one of Ann's videos pops up!
This was such a fun episode!! I love the historical ones!
Dave said "Bougie" 🤣🤣 I love him!
The calm vibe of your presentation and videos is just lovely. Thanks for not being a noisy clickbait creator and actually taking time to research and educate viewers.
As you were making the “poor man’s” pastry I was thinking: “this is like play-dough, but with milk.” Then you said the same thing 😂
These videos are fascinating. I'm amazed that a cookbook would last this long.
Another good Friday because of HTCT!!
Please make LOADS more of these videos! It's so interesting to see how things have changed. Absolutely love your channel :)
Thanks 😊 for the entertainment.
I love your family! They are all so thoughtful and supportive!
Ha, that was fun!!
Really neat yo see the comparison of what was being eaten by different groups of people. Love the willingness of Dave and your boys to try it all and share their thoughts. I would absolutely watch more like this!
Simply beautifully done all around. Your family is a special kind.
The poor shirt 👕 rock's
For sure! It reminds me of some jackets that were popular back in the 70’s. Groovy!✌️🙂
I've made myself one much like that from half a king size flat bedsheet. You can get a much wider range of fabrics from somewhere like Calico Laine, but you can probably pick up a king size flat bedsheet within ten minutes' walk without paying for delivery and waiting a few days to a week. I got the basic pattern online, so take no credit for it, but did invent some details myself, like a double thickness at the neck that's more comfortable than having a hem there. I also made the sleeves long enough to go right past my fingertips and had to roll them back into quite substantial cuffs, but that's fine, really.
Ann could have a career in audiobooks, her voice is soothing
I always get so excited seeing a new upload from this channel. It's always so purely delightful no matter what subject she covers, and it almost always comes with some genuine knowledge attached to it, which I'd reckon is a great upside alongside it being consistently entertaining.
It would be *fantastic* if you could do more of these recipes from the book, in the 'VS' format - like your boys, I was surprised at the closeness between the dishes they preferred- between the 'rich' & 'poor'...
I love watching you prepare and sample these old recipes.
gotta love auntie Ann's 200+ year old recipe videos
Love when you bring out old recipe books. Definitely need to ask my family if we have any to pour over
I absolutely love watching these old recipes ❤
I love these old recipe videos! I think they're my favorite on your channel!
I love the variety we get from your channel Ann
I love Dave's words of wisdom at the end.
In case you're wondering about the s/ ſ thing: They would use the s at the end of a word, and the ſ if it was in the beginning or middle of a word. That's how you end up with careleſs. German actually has retained the letter ß as a ligature for ſs.
Strictly speaking, the ſ also wasn't exactly the same as an actual lower case F.
The so-called long s or ſ looks a bit different as is it not supposed to have the nub in the middle of the line that the f has.
However, some styles of writing made them needlessly simular and even added that nub, to the point where they'd sometimes use the round S (the one we use today that was normally reserved for the ending of words) when an ſ appeared next to an f in order to prevent confusion, so they'd spell it ſatisfaction instead of ſatiſfaction.
To confuse things even more, there was no upper-case ſ, so if you had the beginning of a sentence or a true noun, it would be spelled with a round S instead.
Old cooking is back!
Love it! Yes! Do more from the book!
I love how your family participates!
💙💙💙
Love it! Thanks everybody! Good seeing you all! I loved this video and vote yes on more! It's awesome how Ann always brings things to light. I love your point of view. Keep it up you guys rock!!
Your family is so much fun 🤗 I really enjoyed this video and the whole setup - reading the recipe/story, costuming, and boys explanations. Even teared up a few times ❤️
The costumes were such an amazing touch!
Fabulous Anne, yes please more of this! I love history coming to life!
Ann, I think this is quite possibly one of my favorite videos you have done. It's very interesting and I just love you and your family!
WOAH that's so much butter!! I love watching the different reactions to each meal.
This was fascinating! I love that your family participated. They are such good sports.
