Dinner 200 years ago |1807 Mac n' Cheese| Historical ASMR Cooking 

I always include a photo of the original recipe as it appeared in ye old book (or receipt as they were once called!) at the end of my videos 😊

Salute to the cameraman who went back 200 years in time to record this

I love the format... no talking, no music. Just preparing the meal. Very nice

I was skeptical about macaroni being available in 1807, but upon digging I discovered the first pasta factory was built in America in 1798

I love the old fashioned house and authentic kitchen and stove, its literally like watching it live in the 1800s 😍

Gotta say, for a video that was made 200 years ago, the quality is awesome

I am 78 years old, so you can imagine how old my grandmother was. Receipt was the common name for recipe, she used it as well as the other older ladies in her friend circle, and it was spelled that that way in the one cookbook she had passed down from her grandmother..

This channel is wonderful. This is as close as we're going to get to being around back then. I truly appreciate the time and effort you take to present this to us. I love anything historical and this is so cool. Thank you!

I know it's romanticizing to think "oh to go back in time" bc life was quite difficult and without medical advancements, but this was just so peaceful. Very enjoyable.

This is very beautiful and the historical reconstructions are really accurate. There is only one thing missing to make everything identical to 200 years ago family: 16 children, which would not have been loudly so relaxing.

This is the next level creativity , even movies fail to show this kind of real looking sets. Hats off to you and your team

This is so incredible! Without people like yourself things like this from the past would be lost forever.

Thank you for sharing. I am fortunate to have had the privilege of having a great-grandmother born 1886 passed 1998. Grew up on a 528 acr farm half mile away from her. I used to walk to her house picking up weeds along the way to present a beautiful boutique. Thankfully she shared a lot of cooking/baking techniques. My oldest best friend to this day. ❤️

I never knew my grandmother, who lived on a very poor subsistence farm in Kentucky. From my mother i do know that this was the way she cooked, using pots hung over a fireplace, rolling out biscuit dough, cutting biscuits with a round cutter, cornbread baked in a skillet, everything prepared by hand, nothing left over after meals, they had no electricity and no ice, so no refrigeration, just cold dry storage for vegetables, and could not afford to let anything go to waste. Kerosene for lanterns at night, outhouses, old catalogue pages for toilet paper. My grandfather who died in 1932 never rode in a car nor heard a radio in his life and had a taste of Kool-Aid only in his last years.

This is really cool. Interestingly, I don't find the lack of conversation taking anything away from what you're doing. In fact, I think it add an authentic quality to the activity. I may show this to my history classes - a "real world" experience for them. Thanks for doing these!!!

I have watched a few of your videos now, and they have a calming effect on me. They are almost hypnotic. I can't put my finger on why. I just know that I had a very stressful day the other day, and I said to myself, "Go to RU-vid and watch one of those early 1800s cooking videos." And it worked. It was like the stress evaporated.

“Historical ASMR cooking.” This is why I love RU-vid. 😁Literally everything is here. Great video! 💟

I just found your channel the other day and I'm obsessed! I've been going back and watching everything! Thank you for all you do, the effort you put in is clear.

I love the fact that you have transported us back to a time we can only imagine... thanks for showing us what meals were like back then and thanks for not drowning your videos with music! Keep up the good work ma'am

I need you to know that I put this up on my projector just to see what my kitten thought of it and he was utterly enamored with you, following you all around the screen and trying to catch you as you moved in and out of frame. It was completely adorable and brought us both a lot of joy. The video itself was also fantastic. Thanks for this from both myself and Menace. 😊

I love that you guys teach these old school methods. They're so fascinating and so important to know.

I love watching you cook the old fashion way. You make it look easy.

As an ex-Head chef, i,m really enjoying the quality and dedication you've put into this.😉

I always wanted a real fireplace to make homemade soups in! I love watching your videos, so educational and relaxing!

Those mustard greens are making my mouth water. I love how Justine always smiles when she tastes her food!

Another wonderful, peaceful demonstration of old recipes. I have to defend Justine, she is not messy. She is precise and careful in what she does. I image a lot of people got burns and other wounds from the sheer labor of cooking back then. Prior to your vids I only thought of pastry as well, pastry. Now I see it is a paste and in fact it's name makes sense. The more you know. Thank you for making such high quality videos.

No music, no talking yet this is the most calming video on RU-vid I ever seen, amazing!

I love your videos. They are so simple. Relaxing and just enjoyable to watch. No extra sound is needed.

It’s baffling to me that a dish like Mac and cheese was eaten so long ago

I wish there was a place that you could go and live like this for the weekend or overnight!

My mom got me hooked on this channel. This is my dream life. I love the fact there's no banal chatter like in other pages. Excellent

Now That's some good-looking 1800's Mac & Cheese! 😋 Yum! Been loving these videos since last week! So cozy. ^^

Wow your channel has blown up!! Excited for you guys! And this video has 4 million views in 4 weeks - wow! Your quality and content is too notch - glad to see you getting the views and recognition you deserve. 👏🏼👏🏼

You can watch us eating these dishes while drowning them in parmesan cheese and mushroom catsup here. A combination that would have only made sense in the 1800s I swear: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I3evGGskfdI.html

I simply love this channel. The quiet , the peace, the simplicity, just awesome. I've commented before, it was not an easy life but a pure life.

I love watching you cook. How when you stir things you don't clank the spoon against the pot. How your very precise in how you do things. And how you don't have a receipt right in front of you! We used to live in Williamsburg, Va. And I love anything about Colonial America!

Cooking was so integrated into regular daily living-meals/food were much more appreciated back then. Part of me wishes that we didn’t have such fast access to cheap foods, so that we would really appreciate and enjoy the fruits of labor like this. I’ve loved watching your channel grow, and following you guys over here from the other one!

I think....after watching several of your cooking videos my favorite part has always got to be that little smile you get right after you take the first bite. One doesn't need words to express how tasty something is!

loved watching you do all you did for dinner....one day people are going to have to go back to this old way of cooking...tysm for doing this video...and it was awesome with no talking just showing how its done....very informative and just plain wonderful!! Merry Christmas to you and your family....

These videos are like living paintings from the past ❤️

Будто перешла в другую эпоху.Костюм, камин , старинные рецепты кулинарии.Сказочно!

お家の雰囲気とか料理器具もめちゃくちゃ凝ってて大好きです！！ 今よりもなん手間もかかってて昔の人の苦労も伝わりました！ これからも頑張ってください⸜❤︎⸝‍

I like how she takes her time as well. First, it is easier to follow what she is doing and process it, and second, she is working with an open fire. That is no time to rush. Fire was a leading cause of death for women a few generations ago. Cooking over open flame while wearing a long dress. I've had my share of burns in a modern-day kitchen, and it was always my fault because I was in a hurry.

I love watching the two of you work together and do everything you do and oh my God girl you make all this look so easy this looks like backbreaking work but wow it's just amazing what you do I thoroughly enjoy watching you prepare all these amazing dishes

I’m 189 years old and I can confirm that this is how we cook back then

*The way she just stood there after taking a bite and looking so proud was the cutest thing ever.* 😤

It’s relaxing I really appreciate it. Thanks so much for this kind of yours... And the things you used it’s so realistic and fun to watch how you used to it.

I would absolutely love to try some of the food you cook, It looks so damn good and you use the most simple of ingredients and tools!!

How delightful a dish so elegant could be so simple. Fascinating even in those times!!

What an incredible break from the Will and Jada Saga. I am so happy I came across this. Thank you bringing us back to the basics ❤️

This video really won my heart. I do not like to watch cooking recipes videos. But it captured me. There is something like home, peace, warmth of life in it. You gave me a golden memory to recall in grey moods. Keep it up.

The reason I can't get enough of this bc it is relaxing. There is nothing like home cooked food and just peace.

Lovely, thank you! Also in the same time period was "Macaroni Pudding". Into a very deep buttered baking dish: place cooked macaroni (slightly firm -al dente), in thin layers alternating with layers of cheese slices. In a bowl beat a few eggs with light cream, add seasonings. Pour over the layers. The cream should almost come to the surface. Cover over entirely with more cheese slices. Cover entirely with fine crumbs and grated cold butter. Allow to rest for a half hour. Bake until set and browned: 325° for 40 minutes. This is a Scottish recipe shared by a cook from Kilmarnock.

Thank you so much for this gorgeous video. Super love how plain simple and pretty the cooking place is without the modern appliances and other stuff. You gave me plenty of new ideas for my future kitchen.

The Best ASMR Yet! Very soothing and relaxing to hear and watch. Perfect 👌

The amount of patience they took back then, and the amount of patience these people have shooting a video and edit it for us in this lifetime omg, I could never

ASMR and anxiety relief for the historically-inspired haha...and very informative. I absolutely love these 🥰

Respect to the cameraman for teleporting 200 years ago to capture this.

This is making me hungry just watching you cooking! :) Its really cool to see how things were done in those days in the kitchen! I'm really impressed on your motivation, strength and your calmness while you work :) Also your costume is really neat too! Love this so much, and I'm glad I found your channel :D Peace!

I love this channel. It is so calming and i just had an 18th century style apron made which i wear every day in my kitchen. My mum is bow watching this channel too and she loves it! ❤❤❤

traditional American cooking must be the best thing ever. love how they used to customise some German recipes in general and turn it into something new. Greetings from Germany! your channel is perfect

This is a great way to learn culture and history. Very enjoyable!

I love the atmosphere. Very relaxing to watch you cook. Thanks

Adoro!!!!! perfeito o preparo dos alimentos, a cozinha...tudo!

This video I would say is one of my favourites. Beautiful wholesome food right there. 👌 Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

JUSTINE, YOU HAVE MASTERED THE HEARTH COOKING. IT'S ENJOYABLE WATCHING YOU PREP & COOK. IT IS A SKILL, FOR SURE!!!! Do take care. Fl.

this is really cool. these videos and recipes are giving some good ideas for a really traditional ideas for thanksgiving!

This got suggested to me as I was just cooking macaroni and cheese (that I am now eating). It makes you realize cooking was almost a whole different art then, having to tend to the fire and heating the pans and lids like that.. very intriguing.

I love these videos so much! I discovered this page randomly and can’t get enough.

Lovely, absolutely lovely ❤️😍 Maccheroni were not even popular in Northern part of Italy back in 1807, so I'm not too sure about that, but I loved it!! 😍

A friend of mine makes macaroni and cheese this way, with the butter and flour. I make a béchamel, add grated cheese, then mix with boiled pasta. I then bake it in the oven.

Ya'll are so cool! I am mesmerized watching everything you do, I love to cook...neat to see the beginnings...

this and townsend really do make my week so much better. seeing how people lived back when things werent taken for granted and how they made food is so...satisfying.

WOW! I love watching food being prepared over an open fire! Even more, I love doing it myself at home. The early recipes are so much less complicated than their modern equivalents. Simple food, simple flavours, simple cooking! Thank you Justine!

I’ve just found your channel and I can’t stop watching. Thank you.

I just love your video so much.. it felt like I got back in time. Many times I wish to have lived in that time, without technology and into nature.. Lot of love for you! ❤

no conversación, no música, solo ella preparando un delicioso plato de comida ^_^

I know it was difficult to survive those 18s days but still, I feel like those days were peaceful with no sound pollution, no addiction to materialistic things just kept leading the life with the blessing of natural vibes.

I love that you don't talk in these videos! (Or speak very little) it just adds so much to the video! Just quiet actions, and that lovely ASMR 😊

Your videos are very useful and provide lots of information. I have received lots of help after watching this post, please continue to share this kind of information. Thank you.

You made it look so easy,,but this took all day long,,they started supper early in the morning,,it was alota work,,,so nice,,I loved this video!! Thx 4 sharing

Really! 200 years ago life was hard... But she is so calm while cooking. I like the simplicity, my favorite is the macaroni and cheese. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤🇺🇸

It's like I'm traveling in time. Nature, the sound of fire, gives me peace.

Just realised how much I talk to myself when I cook alone lol. Appreciate bumping into this channel I love historic times!

Watching this is like therapy to me, love it. Love the heart that’s put into the meals. “Simple times” when we weren’t so busy and can enjoy every second in whatever it is we were doing. Thanks for the content.

Justine you’ve outdone yourself, everything looks delicious. Those recipes are definitely open to interpretation... I’ve never seen a “Roux” cooked like that before, it was very interesting! Making your own salamander/broiler by heating your pot’s lid was ingenious! I can’t wait to see if Ron likes his dinner. ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Why do I love these kind of videos very much it's so peaceful nd nice to watch these 😢like i just want to be in that era❤

I love this program It's POSITIVE!! Warm & loving. Nice to see this Among all the BAD news. Gives me reason To Still Love My Country

Everything looked so good to eat! My mouth is watering for all of these dishes!

When the caption came up with "Justine is messy", to my brain it sounded just like a line out of a children's picture book! Or perhaps I have just read more than my share of those 😆 I prefer "Justine is human" Have you heard the belief that if you are a messy cook, then you make delicious food? Because you're more concerned with the cooking and flavour than the workspace (not suggesting you should be a slob, being tidy while cooking is still helpful).

I LOVE this channel. I watch it before bed.

I never knew macaroni and cheese had been around since 1807 nearly 200 years ago now. I thought it was the Early 1900. Still does the same ingredients .

Hey, I m from India. Truly happy to stumble upon this video. I always wondered how life was in the West in olden times, though I watched scenes in movies, those were just scenes, I saw with subtitles 😂. But this is really good, seeing u people cooking these dishes in olden way!!! I was wondering in awe, that the fireplace was used as a kitchen stove (am I right, that's a fireplace, isn't it??) and the mechanisms involved. Thank you😊

I am totally intrigued and addicted to this channel. It combines two of my favorite interests, history and cooking! The amount of time and effort that goes into producing these programs is so appreciated. Thank you Justine and Ron for this channel. I often share these programs with good friends and they love them so much. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding weekend. 👍❤🙏🌎

Very quality video .The sound was very comforting ,specially fireplace sound...✌️

My mouth keeps watering imagining the taste of these dishes.😋😋😋

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and I have to say, this channel has quickly become one of my guilty pleasures to watch. I love food history and enjoy your videos so so much. You and your gentlemen make a cute pair. I look forward to your summer season videos and your garden to sprout 📹

The fact that she went through all this trouble, not just cooking but her clothes, etc., only to record it on her high-tech camera just didn’t leave my mind the entire time!😛 I mean just imagine the contrast. On one hand, she is not using electricity to cook but charging her camera to be able to capture this had me pretty kicked😂

I love watching this channel and thinking about how incredible my frontier grandmother's were. All this and babies and toddlers running around, extremes of weather, tooth pain, sickness and death (especially of said babies) and ears! And they survived it all and here we all are now. It's truly amazing!

Justine is not messy. Justine is brilliant. Thank You Justine
