This class is taught in English.

Students will not only learn history, but use it and taste it. By cooking the different cuisines of different time periods, we learn the methods of cooking and the styles of flavor that we give us a new insight into a culture, time period, or individual. Have you ever tried Julius Caesar's favorite snack?

Not only do I love cooking, but I taught with Harvard University's Dept. of Classics for 6 years as a Head Teaching Fellow. I taught The Rome of Augustus for which I was nominated for the Levenson Teaching Award and won awards for distinction in teaching each semester I taught with Harvard. I also have experience teaching Middle Ages Literature, Art, and History, Ancient Egyptian History, World History: Neolithic to 1500s, and Roman Games (Gladiators). Now, I homeschool my son and I greatly enjoy adapting my knowledge and classes designed for university level to each of his grade levels. 

After each student finishes their cooking creation, they will post a video or a paragraph explaining: 
1. How hard or easy was the dish to cook? 
2. Was it yummy? How is the flavor and the texture? 
3. Would you consider this dish unique? Have you ever tried anything like it before? 
4.Would you cook this dish again? Please explain why or why not. 
5. How did cooking and eating this food taught them more about the history and the culture of the people who originally made this dishes.
6. Finally, what questions or comments arose while you were cooking and eating our historical food? I will love to hear them and discuss on the class page.  

Finally, each week a quiz or a scavenger hunt activity will be posted on the subjects covered in the history talk videos that accompany each recipe. 

No live meetings, and maybe some time outside of class.

Ingredient lists, recipes, and videos will be provided each week.
