For example, exploring the origins of a simple dish like bread leads me down a path of ancient civilizations, where grains were first cultivated and bread became a symbol of life and sustenance. In Italy, the birth of pasta tells a story of trade routes, cultural exchanges, and the refinement of cooking techniques over centuries. Or take the global fascination with spices—trading routes, exploration, and colonialism all played key roles in the spread and integration of spices into diverse cuisines.

One fascinating aspect of my work involves exploring the origins of specific dishes. For instance, the evolution of pizza from its humble beginnings in Naples to its global popularity today reveals a story of cultural exchange and adaptation. By tracing the historical context of a dish, I can highlight how ingredients were introduced through trade, migration, and colonization, and how local flavors and techniques transformed them into beloved staples.

Culinary historians often engage with chefs, food anthropologists, and home cooks to share their findings and breathe new life into traditional recipes. They might organize workshops, lectures, or cooking demonstrations that highlight historical cooking techniques, allowing participants to experience the flavors of the past firsthand. This not only preserves culinary traditions but also fosters a greater appreciation for the cultural significance of food.

From the ancient kitchens of Rome to the bustling markets of medieval Europe, I explore how food has shaped societies and been shaped by them. Every recipe has a story, every ingredient a journey, and I am dedicated to bringing these stories to light. By studying old cookbooks, manuscripts, and historical records, I piece together the culinary practices of the past and connect them to the present.

As a culinary historian, I also experiment with recreating historical dishes. Through this hands-on approach, I gain a deeper understanding of the techniques and ingredients that defined different time periods. Whether it’s reviving a forgotten Roman delicacy or preparing a colonial American meal, these reenactments allow me to taste history and share those experiences with others.
