Hard to believe huh, but it’s true. Auguste Escoffier wrote the very first “comprehensive” cookbook in modern history.
Many “chefs” have tried to replicate dishes from history, and most not the greatest results.
Recipes from any earlier, are just a guess.
Those recipes you’re watching are most likely a SWAG on cooking methods, techniques and ingredients, nothing more and nothing less.
But they generate money……..
