Good news for 🇬🇧! My cookbook has finally launched in the UK 🇬🇧It's at Waterstones & Amazon etc ... and here's the WORLDWIDE links: bit.ly/ARcookbook
Yay!
😺💞
Wow I never though I would be this early btw I love ur vids and I also love to cook so I watch alot of ur video
I just received your book and OMG!
I can't wait to bake all your wonderful amazing creations, I've not baked lately apart from some oat cookies because my dentist told me to cut down on my sugar intake. ( have teeth that need sorting out)
But I definitely want to get back into baking just lessen the number of the batch size is all is needed haha.
You book will get me back into baking, love how you put grams too, I get so annoyed trying to convert cups. Congratulations on the book and will definitely buy any future books that come out!
yay!
I love how the boys are helping good old dad carry his burden of professional taster.
Same
I love how one talks about it like Mom does, and the other is still totally like dad. Love. It.
"I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!"

Dave has tasted so many weird, gross, or old recipes at this point that he doesnt even need to try in order to say how weird, gross, or old fashioned something tastes
@@generalcodsworth4417 So true 😂
lol
I love that her son knows what banana skin tastes like 😂. Definitely edible, but not super common to eat it in Western countries.
Now, back in the 40's, my mom said that her grandmother would make marshmallows using a bit of marshmallow root extract. The extract actually started to become hard to get because so many swampy areas were being destroyed that the root became rare, so the version of marshmallows without the plant started to become the norm. My mom says that the old marshmallows were an acquired taste, sort of the same way as black licorice or original recipe root beer.
if it's like black licorice, that is a taste i am perfectly fine never acquiring >.
Would be interesting to try actually 🤔
Yuck! BLACK LICORICE? I guess I'm glad the plant got over used then and we now have the marshmallow we all know and love.
@@boomchicaboomboom No, they didn't taste like black licorice. Rather it was that same sort of odd taste that you either love or despise. My mom says that they tasted like medicine.
@@dietotaku he didn’t say it tasted like black licorice, he said it’s an acquired taste, the same way black licorice is an acquired taste.
I think Ann has one of the most interesting and educational channels on UA-cam. Weird old recipes, fixing fails, debunking (and saying WHY they don't work and then showing actual real cooking hacks). I've been around since the Instagram and iPad cake days and I'm so happy Ann has found a way to keep this channel relevant to keep educating us. 💖
Very true! It's great that Ann is a food scientist and can tell us the scientific explanation as to why things will work or will fail, and how to make it work.
“Taste like a caramel flavoured leaf” 😂

Fun fact: In Austria, this plant is called "Eibisch" and different versions of this candy still exist!
We call it "Eibischteig", literally: marshmallow plant dough. It's a typical grandma thing. 😁
Send Ann a recipe to try?! :o
I'm sure they taste better and have a more palatable texture than these.
Ann did an excellent job but there was no saving these old recipes. But if they still make them there's gotta be a way, no?
@@nodezsh they really are tasty imo! There's three different flavors in every package: pink (very sweet, slightly herbal), white (sweet, herbal and a tiny bit minty) and grey-ish offwhite (more herbal, less sweet and has an odd aftertaste). Of course they combine the Eibisch with different herbs to get nice flavors, but I don't read the package to find out which exactly, I only eat them, when I want to feel like a kid again.
Try them, if you get the opportunity!
YUM
Lol kinda like older people still liking fruit cakes in the US then
In Syria, we use the dried root of Soapworts. After it is soked in water, the water is whipped with thick syrup and it fluffes up to become Nataef which is like the marshmallow fluff, we eat it with Mamoul and Kerabieg
Sounds very delicious:) I hope I can try some some day.
@@meli2291 🤗
i love mamoul as it is, that must be so delicious
@@puzzledillusionist Mamoul with Nataef is absolutely amazing... If you love Meringue frosting, you will love it for sure.
Gotta go to my syrian friends and make it with them.
I love this! A little history, a little tasty treats, a bit of botany, and some super fun nail polish. I also love that your sons have gotten into the family game, trying your odd internet-based concoctions!
Perfect combo of awesomeness!

I can hear the sigh of relief from Dave that he didn't have to try the Ox dung, sulphur and frankincense recipe 🤣
oh no, i would never do that 🤣
@@HowToCookThat No dung, that’s gross! But ground insects are definitely acceptable. 🤣
That was a medical poultice recipe, or something like that. You wouldn't eat it.
@@tirsden no indeed... not that smearing dung into your wound is smart
@@tirsden Oh, I know. I’m saying poo on your arm isn’t ok, but ingesting bugs is. I completely agree with her.
I just find it so cute that one of Ann's sons looks exactly like her and the other one is a photocopy of Dave
I love that the kids are old enough now to take some of the strain off Dave when it's tasting time!
How? Dave is still tasting them as much. It's just good to have more tasters and opinions. I'm surprised Ann doesn't do it much and share her opinion too.
"I hope the next one doesn't taste of bark"
Well I happen to like cinnamon, thank you very much.

Hot chocolate with marshmallows and cinnamon, yum!
Ceylon or Cassia ?! They are different 😉
“Tastes like banana peel”
“Tastes like leaf”
“Tastes like gRasS”
Lol
Most if those things she fed to her family, so they know what they're talking about
What I’m wondering is how did they know what those taste like
Probably based on the smell
@@mom7006 I think most every kid has tried eating those things at least once 😂
French here : there is a difference between "pâté" (the meat stuff) and "pâte" (paste). Here we are talking about the latter, which is pronounced "pat".
Then there's Guimauve that is pronounced "Gi moave" cause the French like to moave it moave it.
i love videos like this! a food historian myself, you are doing such a great service by hosting your sources for free online. in this video, you engage in an old form of medicine called spagyrics. spagyric doctors would have had a much better idea what terms like "extract" or "fine, smooth paste" meant. in fact, the vagueness of the recipe is on purpose. you wanted to be able to communicate techniques to your peers, but not allow any shmuck to take your method and start competing for your market share.
Wow!! Thank you, I find these things very interesting and greatly appreciate your comment! 🌼😀👍🌼
What’s a spagyric doctor or is that a misspelling?
@@shaunaburton7136 Roughly, it's a little more advanced(?) than a straight herbalist... Thus the references to cow manure, and boiling the marrow of lamb's bones... and "extract" if we're complete.
An herbalist (usually) focused on extracting the wanted "chemistry" (ancients didn't exactly have that, and even alchemy was considered different) from plants, specifically. They KNEW you could use water, alcohol, or oil (at least in later years)... The extractive would then be applied to the effected area in cases of injury or infections, warts, rashes, and the like... OR consumed to attempt to aid in healing internally, for disease or sickness. Herbalism is a bit more recognized as the parent to modern medicine...
A Spagyric would seek to extract the chemistry from all sorts of raw materials, hunting for just about anything to get useful "chemistry" from... AND where it might not be extracted "by ordinary means" (soaking or cooking in water, alcohol, or oil) then it would be simply added and the exact reasoning for many were strictly guarded secrets... SO you never really know if the manure has something in it, or serves as a "binder" like the fibrous material of a poultice, to keep the liquids from wicking off through the gauze too quickly or to slow absorption through skin... UNLESS (of course) you were also a thoroughly studied or apprentice to a fellow Spagyric...
In Herbalism, an extract is a bit stronger than a double-strong tea... A Tincture was (traditionally, by the teachings I got) kept in a container of alcohol for at least a day, usually a week, and often "aged" which could take as long as a year... AND an "oil" was pretty well straight forward, except the herb had to stay in the oil for no less than a week, usually 3 and was never removed until the last drops were used... and it was time to clean the vessel/container.
BUT those Spagyrics were so secretive and careful about their terms (and I suspect a bit of colloquial and personally ambiguous code was employed) that there just hasn't been much of a definition or even a tradition passed on in my experience and efforts to find out (WHICH it's important here I admit are somewhat lackluster. It's not like I've scoured the earth or even hit every library and used book shop in my own state... someone may well know better)
According to Merriam-Webster, the Etymology goes back to Rome and the Latin "Spagyricus" but I couldn't find that in my entire book of Latin, either... though that doesn't account for too much... haha... A college or Uni' or even maybe a High School with a dedicated Latin Teacher may have entirely the resource you (or someone) might need to find out plenty better than I.
ANYWAYS... hope this helps. Sorry it's a tad lengthy and all, but to be precise on things like this, it requires a bit of a sacrifice to brevity. ;o)
When Ann updates it’s a good day, even though It’s 2am where I am right now 😂
AGREED!
Good morning banana bread
graveyard shift says hello lol
It’s almost 3AM where I am =v=
So true!
"There's something there that doesn't taste like marshmallow" ..... yup, that's the marshmallow 🤣
no wonder this plant is called literally "true slime" in polish
Accept no counterfeit slime!
Seems many places have many words for this plant.
malvavisco in Spanish
it could be that sieves back then weren't as fine as the one youre using.
I was wondering about that too!! Seems like the kind of crucial detail that could be lost to time
As someone who bakes it could also be the spoon she's using. Try creaming butter that's still a bit too cold and sugar together with a wooden spoon then try it with a regular spoon like Anne's and you'll find one much easier than the other.
No. Like modern sieves, historical ones varied in type and hole size, depending on their use. Along with the spoon, the type of sieve she used may not be appropriate for this kind of paste. A chinois with wooden pestle may be more suitable.
The roots just needed to be sliced much thinner! Like with ginger root~ if you slice it super fine lengthways, you'll end up with long, fibrous strands & there's no way you could sieve them. Nice thin slices against the grain & those fibres will be tiny & easy to pulverise & strain :)
Nope. They definitely had very fine sieves at that time. The issue is: 1) how the root is sliced and also could have been cooked longer 2) The person making this would likely be a cook or scullery maid who would be used to doing all of this physical labor all day.
I have a marshmallow plant that I once considered part of my vegetable garden, but after seeing how much bees and butterflies love it, I now consider it part of my flower garden. It’s such a pretty plant, I’ll never harvest it because of how beautiful it is
You could harvest some of it if you were careful, just dig down and take a few roots, but also there isn't really a reason to besides like historical whatever or witchy stuff
Constant Chaos It’s still considered a useful plant from a medicinal herb standpoint, many people still use it today
@@elizafisher8800 I mean herbological medicine would fall under witchy reasons in my book but yeah
Oh unrelated to anything else.... but if you happen to have an over abundance of seeds one year I definitely wouldn't mind buying some
@@ConstantChaos1 How is herbal medicine that scientifically work witchcraft? Sounds like you're the one believing in some superstition and/or following social constructs too much. How is it different from getting nutrients from vegetables? Herbal medicine and vitamins are still used. You also shouldn't be slandering people as witches just cause they used plants for health. Some people want to grow their own cause it's cheaper and natural. Not everyone has access to modern hospitals. You shouldn't just expect those people to have nothing then. Witches didn't invent using plants or own it.
Oh my goodness! That's unbelievable to me how old her sons are getting now! I remember the fizzy birthday cake when Matt was either 12 or 13. That's so crazy! Time is flying so quickly
haha, yes, time is flying!!
@@HowToCookThat 😄😄 So glad your content has never changed in quality!!
I was going to say the same thing! When I think of her boys I think of them as little kids. When her son came on screen I was like "whoa he's grown up"
@@mellyq92 Exactly!!
As someone who tends to like weird, herbal-flavoured stuff like candies, I feel like original marshmallows would be the kind of thing I'd be into.
I just made some last month for my son's bday. They were so good! And didn't taste like grass ;)
I did it a bit differently tho, as I only had dried root on hand. I made a super-strong tea with the marshmallow root & a bunch of other spices (cardamon, cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, clove, vanilla, orange zest, rose water... etc etc) & used that in place of the water in a modern marshmallow recipe.
The 1st batch I made using gelatin, but since the marshmallow root tea gets really quite thick, I tried a 2nd batch without gelatin & a couple egg whites instead. They both turned out beautifully. The kids were skeptical at first, but every single one said they were the best marshmallows they had ever eaten.
Like horehound! lol I love that stuff too! And those grass-flavored Harry Potter inspired Jelly Bellies.
Same!! Marshmallow doesn't grow where I'm at, but I really want to try these recipes!
Same
@@doraanderson7403 may I ask what part of the world you live in? There's a HUGE variety of Mallow species that grow all over the world & most of them can be utilized the same way as 'marsh' mallow :)
Dave and Ann are so freaking cute! I was just re-watching the 200 year-old cookbook cheesecake recipe before this and realized if you look at Dave when he looks beyond the camera, and he smiles with that glint in his eye, he's looking at Ann. Find yourself a man/woman that looks at you the way Dave looks like Ann! Love you guys and your family!
Hand whipping the egg whites reminds me of that time in college when a friend and I threw a tea party with a homemade cake we made together. Neither of us had brought an electric mixer to our dorms so we had to make do with a whisk when the recipe called for whipped egg whites. We spent the whole day baking but it was so much fun and it's one of my favorite memories
Yup. I made a cake at someone's house and they didn't have a mixer or egg beater as I'd assumed. Luckily, I had other people to pass the egg whites on to so I could rest my arms and work on the rest of the recipe.
I had to make mayonnaise by hand once. I, too, had to switch on-and-off with another person, since it took like 15-20 minutes for the quantity we did! Thank goodness we live in this era, ey? XD
Electric mixers are expensive so I've never owned one. Whisking eggs by hand is simple enough that I don't see the point in buying an electric mixer that will just take up the little side space we have (certainly don't have cupboard space to store one) and be noisy, awkward to clean and no tactile feedback to tell when a mix of anything is done like you get doing it by hand. Just seems like a lot of money to spend on something that takes longer to set up than taking the whisk out the drawer.
@@AlexaFaie Your opinion is fine, but I think a device to make meringue is a good investment because it takes long to do by hand and/or is tiring, which I've done. Especially if someone makes it often enough. "Time is also money." I use a blender so it's multi-purpose. You can also get small electric tools. Sometimes I used to think like you but am relieved once I finally got a electric tool.
Lol never used one in my life. Sick of power tools i bought a bloody strimmer didnt work bought a lawn mower didnt work. Found an old scyth and omg just ripped through the whole garden in a thrice. Also if you dont use a mixer you get granmas popeye arms and ive always wanted those. I need to make more cake!
Its funny how much cooking and baking has advanced over the years and how our ancestors had to work so hard to make these treats while we just give up before we finished reading the Recipe.
So true!
Yes, it just so much easier to grab a bag of marshmallows from the store! Yet, I remember as a youngster that even store bought marshmallows did have a distinct flavor that modern ones do not have. I wonder what changed. 🤔
@@Beezer.D.B. a lot of the store bought stuff now is made with corn syrup and dextrose as well as sugar. If you’re buying typical kraft marshmallows maybe that’s what’s different? If I buy them I only buy the “expensive” kind that are only made with sugar.
@@sailorarwen6101 - That could be it. But I do remember a distinct flavor… but I have bought and tasted marshmallow root powder before and it wasn’t like that either, lol. That tasted like the boys described. 😂
@@sailorarwen6101 - I just realized something… I was born and raised in Michigan, where beet sugar is queen. Most marshmallows of my youth were probably made with cane sugar! There’s a slight difference in taste. Mystery solved, maybe, lol!
I love when Dave tries the food but now that she has added her sons, it’s great too!!
in which country do you live are you girl
The kids are little mini mixtures of you and Dave and it’s honestly adorable.
I can already tell this is going to be educating, but also very entertaining. That's the best combination lol
Yes
Sounds like a typical ann reardon video
@@DyslexicMitochondria Hey bro I watch ur videos. Love your channeI
@@DyslexicMitochondria agreed
I feel like your boys magically age... because just last year they were so little! It's so sweet to watch them grow up through your videos.
Unrelated, but Ann has been looking and sounding less tired and I’m really happy about it! 💕
I love how your sons just have different octave voices of yours and Dave's.
12:01 the fact that Dave isn't even surprised 😂 What have you done to his tastebuds Ann!
An old definition of "extract" is what's left when you've evaporated off all the solvent - in this case water
I don't know how you'd go about this in cooking though, would make mixing in the egg whites a tough ask
its surprising you had that old definition im sure ann appreciates it!
+
Anyone remember the magic school bus swamp episode where they also pointed out the marshmallow root and how it made marshmallows and everything? That was the first thing I thought of in this video!
i loved the comments on flavor; "so THATS the bark taste", "caramel flavored leaf", etc.
Marshmallow plant made hard candies are used as cough/sore throat soft medicine in my country. You suck on them when your throat is in pain but in not so tragic condition to visit doctor.
Its often mixed with anise - kids love them but mom always said "its medicine, not candy".
Horehound plants were used for that too, and as I remember, were easier to get good results from. The plant smells and tastes like the horehound hard candies that [I think] you can still buy, minus the sugar.
They do still sell horehound candy but it is such a strong flavor that it is not in high demand. I can only think of one store in my town where it MIGHT be sold. I'm sure it's available online!
Interesting! Which country do You live in?
@@Coffeegirl739 Poland, but my grandma told me that her far family in Russia and Belarus used it the same way
@@sushionaram Ok I am from Poland and it is not familiar to me - podkarpacie :) Hejka 🙂
Do you try the recipes too? Or just the rest of the family? Haha
Yes I try them too 😀
I would also love to see your reaction too Ann! 😊
@@HowToCookThat that so has to be the next challenge! Haha. Get the boys to bake for you!
@Funny Valentine The point of the reaction is the surprise and working out what it is. Ann knows what's in it so there's no surprise, though I suppose Ann could describe her thoughts on what it tastes like to give a different perspective.
Was straight up thinking the second one reminded me of nougat, then not 2 seconds later Dave says "Kinda tastes like nougat".
I love that you're now subjecting the entire family to your experiments. And that they have fun with it.
My mom makes shampoos and soap, a few weeks ago she told me that she needed to bought a plant called marshmallow, I was like.... 'for what?!' And she told me that it was for a shampoo, after I watched that Ann was using it for real marshmallows I was like 'oh no, this is going to taste like grass'
Well, I was not wrong, I guess 💁🏻♀️😂
Don't eat your mom's shampoo?

Oh wow your sons have grown up so much!! I remember religiously watching your channel when I was so much younger because I felt so much comfort from your maternal vibes and how happy your kids seemed but my viewing turned more casual as I had to become a whole adult. I hope you’re all doing spectacularly and that I get to watch you for years to come!!
The descriptor "caramel flavoured leaf" is my new favourite thing ever 😂😂😂❤️
I like that your youngest one isn't in this, because I'm imagining he went "no thanks, Mum, I've been burned before. Not trusting you again" 😂
The effort that goes into your 200yr old recipe videos is amazing. Thank you so much for the top class entertainment and food science. Great work Ann
These are for sure my favourites on this channel! So interesting to see the old recipes and see them TRANSLATED and cooked too. Really interesting to think about how people used to cook and eat! Thanks for making these!!
Your boys are all hilarious, it looks like Dave is done with trying weird stuff though… Dave we understand why.
Dave has PTSD when Ann is serving him food when she is making a Video
He's making his sons share the pain. They need to know what Dave's been through.
Yet the baby of the family was saved from the experience… 😜
I love this series. Your videos are creative, fun, and informative. We need more channels like these on youtube.
Agreed
This is so wholesome :0 Congrats on getting pinned!
@@IAmSchwi woah im unpinned now but it was good while it lasted 😂
Ann's videos are high quality, entertaining and informative. She puts so much hard work and obtains so much patience testing new recipes and "life hacks". Thank you for all your effort. I love your content and you inspire me ♥️
It's a shame we don't really have any Sumerian desert recipes- it would be really cool to see you try to puzzle that out. I once experimented with some of the 'recipes' we have from then and the instructions are... Sparse.
It would probably also require a lot of dates.
7:18 the absouloute speed of that hand whisking! Blimey, Ann hardly needs a stand mixer!
Ah I see dave has trained his sons in the ways of the 5 minute crafts iron stomach.
I’ve missed your old recipe videos. Very much appreciated that video Ann and fam! Amazing 😻
Ann's dedication to these recipes is on a whole other level. What a legend.
Me: usually puts food vids on to have more appetite during dinner
Ann: starts the video with ox dung
I really like seeing the Young Reardons, they give very thoughtful feedback and they each have different perspectives.
How amazing those descriptions are omg this made my day!!
I love the videos on the old recipes - they are actually very fascinating! Thank you for sharing them, Ann
Glad you like them!
Wow, I had no idea there was such a thing as a marshmallow plant! Always informative and fun! Thank you Ann! 😁
Any day is a good day if u upload😂

Those poor boys xD they’re good sports. I’m sure they trust their mother not to feed them anything too horrid 😂😂. Also RIP Anne’s finger 💔
Amazing as always! Thank you ann! All the best to you and your family!
Love this series, I’m binging the other videos! Please make more old recipes like this, it’s so interesting!
I've said this somewhere before too but I'ma say it again. When using a mortar and pestle, you want to put your entire body strength into it. Literally pound so it makes a loud noise. That delicate plip plop you do isn't gonna take you anywhere soon
Absolutely no offense intended I'm just stating what I have learnt from crushing garlic and ginger in the mortar and pestle
Thank you for this tip, I do not have a food processor, so this is something I might use 😊
I also find you want to grind as much as pound. So hold the stuff you're grinding between the pestle and the mortar, push down hard and kind of slide the pestle around the mortar. It's much harder to describe in words than it would be to demonstrate - there may be a UA-cam how-to somewhere?
@@PonderingStudent Yeah thats smart, i recon its easier than smashing it.
I think she did make a loud noise. But since she had to narrate the whole process (hence the voice-over), obviously the bg sound (from all the loud pounding noise) had to be edited...
@@saramoldrup no worries 😁
"I hope the next one doesn't taste like a bark" I'M DEAD LMFAOOOOOOOO
These are by far my favorite recipes of yours! All the olde time foods. I feel transported to another time.
Your videos make me so happy. Your voice is so kind and whenever im lonely I watch your videos.
The Dave has been so much weird and fake recipes that his palette evolved to determine specific taste and texture.

i really missed these 200 yr old recipes. theyre so interesting and its always fun seeing you make them.
And here I am in the Netherlands making coconut squares while watching your video. Using my grandmother's recipe (55 years old). She used to live in Australia when she was a teen-ager (8-18). She brought the recipe here and now I wrote it down to make it at home. I love it and it's one of my favourite dishes.
Friday’s + Ann videos + marshmallows.
Me never get tired of watching her awesome videos. Who’s with me? ✋
😁⭐️🤩😍🥰👏😘
Ann's husband is one of the most blessed men alive, he gets to test everything too! Bliss!
Getting to taste everything- It's both a blessing and a curse 😂
I’m really happy that you make videos like this it’s refreshing from what i normally see in my recommendations
Love how your family gives their respectable comments and not just say "wow that tastes like ass"! Very cool video!!!
"hmm. that's where the bark flavor came from"
i cackled LOL your kids are cute
Ah another 200 yr old recipe! These are my absolute favourites. HUGE fan of yours, Ann!!
I just love your family! Well done, as always!
Thank you for all your hard work Ann! I tried one of your recipes for the first time yesterday and it came out so nicely! You’re making me a much more confident baker 😁
I've been telling my family for years that marshmallows used to be a throat lozenge! VINDICATION!
Omg your kids are growing up so fast I remember them so little ❤️❤️❤️ loving this content!!!
I love the boys get involved and have such great explanations of what they are tasting. You have a wonderful family. ❤
I took a class on medicinal plants and my semester project was on A. officinalis! It’s used traditionally to soothe sore throats and rashes because of its sticky smooth emollient quality. It’s an interesting plant! Someday I will make true marshmallow marshmallows!

Old recipes make the advice to 'read everything before you do anyhing' a must.

I used to go camping in Canada, can confirm that "guimauve" is still the french word for marshmallow.

Happy Friday to the two of you 😀
@@HowToCookThat Keep up the good work! Much love from Greece! 😍
You have such a sweet and respectful family trying new foods. Some children turn their nose's at new foods but your sons ( and husband) always seem to approach trying things with an open mind and as a learning opportunity! Wonderful cook, UA-camr and Mom!!
It's always such a bonus when we get reactions from Dave & the boys. I love the range of their responses. Thanks, Ann!
