A few years ago, I decided to make a new Christmas tradition for myself! Every year I would make 1 or 2 holiday recipes from Tasting History to experience new but old festive treats. Already was making other non-holiday recipes from the show before too, it was a natural step for me. This has been going on since 2022, so there's a bit of recipes and photos to share. Hope it's not too much of a bother or bad timing! I've been watching Tasting History for years, but I just found this subreddit a bit ago. I know it's the start of spring, but I don't really want to wait all the way for Christmas to post a compilation like this. Better to have the next holiday post just be a new standalone one!
In order of the most to least recent year, the recipes are:
2025**-** Revolutionary War Gingebread and Victorian Toffee
(Though the toffee was a failed attempt.)
2024**-** 1887 Eggnog
(Should make that again, kind of veered off the recipe, especially on the alcohol.)
2023- Victorian Figgy Pudding
2022- Victorian Mincemeat Pies and Smoking Bishop
(We actually made Smoking Bishop for half of these years, it's really good!)
I hope to continue this tradition and seeing what flavors history has to offer! None of them have disappointed so far!
