Need something to watch while quarantined? I’ve posted on this blog before about my ancient food history web show, From Eggs to Apples, which I’ve been working on with dietician Fiorella DiCarlo. I’m excited to share the trailer for the series and announce that it’s finally going to be released soon.

Five episodes, five ancient civilizations, a whole lot of weird and fascinating recipes. GET READY. More information below!

Registered Dietitian Fiorella DiCarlo and educator, history and ancient food buff Andrew Coletti revisit ancient cuisines to find food cures for the modern world in their new video series “From Eggs to Apples: Ancient Recipes, Modern Kitchen.” Fiorella and Andrew recreate the signature dishes of ancient civilizations and explore the food and nutrition “from eggs to apples,” or as the Romans would say, “from the beginning to the end.”

Each episode features an ancient civilization, including Ancient Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Aztec Empire. Andrew uses his history and food background to delve deep into the ancient recipes and customs of the past, while Fiorella explores the ancient food remedies that apply to the past and present. Featured recipes include Babylonian and Assyrian-style Beef Stew, Peach Patina and Dulciarae, or honeyed dates, from Ancient Rome.
