A Greek Gourmand, travels through time...


Imagine yourself dining with Socrates, Plato, or Pythagoras! What tasty morsels of food accompanied the conversations of these most significant minds in Western philosophy?

Now picture yourself as you sat for a symposium with Cicero, or Pliny the Elder or Julius Caesar. The opulent feasts of the decadent Romans!

Maybe, you're following Alexander the Great during his military campaigns in Asia for ten years. Conquering the vast Persian empire, while discovering new foods.

Or try and picture the richness of fruits and vegetables in the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

What foods did our ancestors ate?

How did all begin? Who was the first to write a recipe down and why?

Sauces, ingredients, ways of cooking. Timeless and continuous yet unique and so alien to us now days. Staple ingredients of the Mediterranean world -as we think now- like tomatoes, potatoes, rice, peppers, didn't exist. What did they eat? We will travel far and wide, reconstructing the diet, the feasts, the dishes of a Greek Philosopher in a symposium in Athens, or a Roman Emperor or as a rich merchant in the last night in Pompeii.....Lavish dinners, exotic spices, so-called "barbaric" traditions of beer and milk, all intertwined...

Stay tuned and find out more here, in 'The Delicious Legacy' Podcast!

  • Traditional Japanese Cuisine
    Nov 29 2025

    Hello! New episode is out and I couldn’t be more excited about it!


    I've interviewed cookbook author Emiko Davies about her latest book "The Japanese Pantry" which came out in October this year.

    Emiko shares stories of her travels off the beaten track to meet the makers and pay homage to ancient traditions that have been around for centuries. Ingredients, dishes and recipes that are lost in the mists of time, and rare foods that might be lost forever!


    How do you make sake and rice vinegar? What are the sake lees and how do we use it? Is


    We will explore the key ingredients of Japanese cuisine and on top of this, we will take a deep dive some unknown ingredients and dishes from all over the Japanese archipelago.


    You can follow the pensioner, mountain tea farmers who farmed at 1000 feet above sea level deep inside a forest, on Instagram at @nakaichamurai


    Enjoy!

  • The Most Elusive Spice of The Ancient World: Cyrenaic Silphium
    Nov 23 2025

    Hello!


    A newly updated episode about Silphium! Or Asafoeitida? I was inspired by History Hit's newly released documentary with Dan Snow called Ancient Adventures: Libya where the team went to explore extraordinary Greek and Roman sites, centred around one of the greatest cities of the ancient world, Cyrene.


    So I thought it is time to talk again with more updates about silphium and with recipes and tasting by me here!


    What do we know of the ancient silphium? What do the authors say it tastes? And when was the last time that it was mentioned in texts?

    Plus the relationship with it's eastern cousin asafoetida and its use in Indian cuisine!


    Enjoy!
