- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2024
- Using real historic recipes published in 200+ year old American cookbooks, here we are today to make a delicious feast of roast chicken with stuffing, fried eggplant and a pie using a fruit native to North America. Let's see! I wish that you were here to try this with me.
I love watching your videos with my 2yr old. So relaxing and not overstimulating.
I never thought I’d like a channel like this but I love this channel, and this lady is always smiling, that looks like so much work I can’t imagine living in the olden days
More than just entertaining, this is quite useful training for if and when things go sideways. Justine's satisfied smile is icing on the cake.
Yes one of the reasons I watch!!
I love your comment! I keep several cast iron cooking pieces on hand for that very reason. 😊
Wow 😂😂😂 that's all you get. 🤦🏻♀️ Conspiracy theorist nut job eh....😂
Exactly why I watch these!!
I'm a fan in so many ways of this channel. Watching Justine cook is so calming, I learn how our ancestors lived and how we may have to feed ourselves in times ahead.
My 3 year old thinks you are snow white in a cottage.😂 We like to watch your videos sometimes before her nap. It helps her relax.
That is precious.
Omg that is cute 😊
Verdade
That is so sweet!! My children would also have loved the channel, but they were little long before youtube!
Yes!
Cooking in the 18th and early 19th centuries may seem bland as far as the seasonings go but it makes up for it 10 fold with the freshness & quality of ingredients, plus the method of cooking them. You can transform a cheap cut of meat into something incredible if you slow cook it over hours over a fire. It is really something that you have to experience to believe. Below I have translated the recipes into modern directions so that you may enjoy them at home. Thank you for watching and for being here!
Huckleberry Pie, Justine's
3 cups of huckleberries
3/4 cup sugar
The zest from 1 lemon
1.5 tablespoons cinnamon
0.5 teaspoons nutmeg
2 pie crusts top and bottom, your favorite recipe
2 tablespoons of flour
In a saucepan combine your berries, spices, flour, sugar & lemon zest. Simmer for half an hour until the fruit forms a syrup. You may need to add a dash of water, depending on what variety of huckleberries that you use, if you notice that the syrup is too dry. Line a pie plate with paste, pour in the above prepared filling. Cover it with another paste. Cut a ventilation slit on top and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Let sit for at least an hour before enjoying. You will love it!
Roast Chicken, 1829
1 chicken
Toasted or stale bread, 3 cups worth, or approximately 4 medium sized bread rolls
0.25 cups of butter, softened + another tablespoon for placing on top of the chicken
Salt & pepper to taste (don't be afraid to be generous with it)
Slice your bread up into small cubes. In a deep bowl toss the bread with butter, salt & pepper till well mixed. Generously season your chicken with salt & pepper. Stuff your chicken with the seasoned bread. Lay your chicken down breast up in a deep roasting pan or cast iron dish. Sprinkle any remaining bread around the chicken. Put another tablespoon of butter on top of the chicken before covering and baking at 300 degrees for 1-1.5 hours depending on the size of your chicken. Mine took 1.5 hours as he was big.
To Fry Eggplants, 1837
3 skinny purple eggplants, or 1 large one
3 eggs
0.5 cups of bread crumbs
Salt & pepper to taste (or pepper only if you are going to soak them in salt water, as is mentioned below).
Lard, enough for frying + 1 tablespoon of butter
Slice your eggplants half an inch thick into medallions. Add salt and pepper into your bread crumbs then mix well. Crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk till smooth. Dunk your eggplant into the egg, then into the bread crumbs till well coated. In a deep pot melt your lard + 1 tablespoon of butter on medium heat till they are liquid. Fry the eggplants till they are shriveled and golden, or 5-10 minutes. Drain on a rag of excess grease.
* A note regarding the above recipe (or receipt as they used to be called). The original recipe recommends soaking the eggplant in salt water to remove the "bitter flavor." Eggplant was not generally regarded as a good flavor for people in the early 1800s. Some people still do not care for it. If you enjoy its flavor then there is no need to soak it. If you are curious and would like to soak it in salt water before frying then cut them up into medallions and soak in a bowl of water that has had a few spoonful's of salt added for 1-2 hours. Drain and pat dry. If you have soaked them then there is no need to add salt into the bread crumbs as they will have naturally retained some of that saltiness. I did not soak them.
Ty❤
Did you really mean Tablespoons of cinnamon?
I am one who cannot do eggplants. I was forced to clean my plate until I lost my food all over the dining table!😮 never had to clean my plate again!😊
That pie looks scrumptious
@@Endolei Yes. This fruit needs it. It adds a nice warm spicy flavor.
Your videos never fail to bring me a sense of comfort and peace. Life seemed so simple back then 💕
Not simple at all. Very hard
These videos are very relaxing, but I don't think life in general was more simple than it is now. The challenges were different but definitely no less large.
LOL it wasn't.
Those were the days.
Simple like when dentistry was ripping a tooth out
Your channel is my escape from a hectic world. Thank you ♥️
mine too...
Same
I never watch this on an empty stomach. It drives me crazy if I do. Great video as always, thanks.
What you do eat some McDonald's before this?
You guys are special. The old days are the best days.
I love your videos! I always wonder how you clean your dishes and rags afterwards- especially tricky items like your straw whisk. I’d love to see an “after the meal” cleanup video. Thanks for sharing your passion!!!
I think that they let the chickens peck the pots and china clean before washing in the tubs on the dry sink! The whisk would probably be used for kindling the next fire. Women had lots of time to make new whisks as needed. They could make extras and sell them for lemon money.
@@PlanetaryThoughts9861lots of time? With all the household and children back then?
Sure appreciate my paper towels and ziplocks
In a dishwasher 😅 Do you really believe they lie 24/7 like this? 😅
I have a video on doing the dishes here, please enjoy ^_^ th-cam.com/video/SfJk6Ha6vOc/w-d-xo.html
سبحان الله زمن الطيبين نحن العراقيين نقولها وهي في كل مكان جيل الطيبين والزمن الهادئ والحشمة والاصالة والحياء ..احب فديواتك مريحة ولو في الغرب
These videos make me want to move back to Missouri from Texas. Love the natural sounds of the kitchen and birds of the region. ❤️
Plus, Justine is a badass cook! Open fire in summer? Respect!
Love your channel. No hype no fast talking just good food and a simple life. We could all learn something from this channel cooking, of course getting back to basics and simplifying our lives.
The sweet black cat in the little forest cottage warming up by the fire 🥺🥺🥺 i love this so much
I love your smile Justine after you taste what you made 😊
The chicken, the eggplant, and the pie all look so delicious, Justine! Frying eggplants is the best way to eat eggplant, in my opinion. Excellent video, as always! 😊
😋
This should be the #1 comment. Not a ridiculous one.
maybe in flavour but u taking off the healthy stuff of it
My mouth watered when you cut a slice of that pie.
Great asmr video with all the pleasant sounds of cooking. What a delicious meal. All favorites to have. I would definitely make this.
These programs are fantastic to watch. Love them.
I just discovered this channel recently, and it has become one of my favorites. Thank you for this great, interesting content. A much simpler life is very appealing to me.
Justtine, I sooooo ENJOY your videos. You have inspired me to cook over fire outside with my kids and we have made several of your recipes. Some of the recipes, I have cooked by conventional stove too. Best way to combine history with homeschooling! Makes the experience (and learning), such fun and delicious for my kids! Thank you for all you do! God Bless!
Hi dear, I just started. Thank you for your support❤😊
That is a meal fit for a king! The pie looks delicious and the chicken outstanding. Mama and Grandma used to fry squash like you fried the egg plant except they used corn meal rather than bread crumbs. You out did yourself Justine!
Always a pleasure to watch you cook
Looks awesome. Nothing like food cooked on an open fire.
It's always wonderful to watch your Videos, so many greetings from Brunswick in Germany and please stay safe 🙂
I might sound weird but I find it so sad to cook for so long such delicious food to finally enjoy it... stood up. Have a seat ahah !
I love huckleberries! Jams, preserves, pies, ice cream, syrup and candy! One of the highlights of my annual trips to Montana is stopping to get a whole bunch of huckleberry foods to last the year!
What a great looking meal, I love the simplicity of it. Once again, a great video on historical cooking, thank you for all your hard work. God bless you both.
Oh YUM! Thank you Justine! What a perfect meal!
Love watching your cooking show!
That chicken looked fantastic, and you have my mouth watering over that pie!
Justine, would you do a video if you have not done so already about how to use a hearth fireplace for cooking what you're looking for in the coals, when to add more logs onto the fire? I just find this fascinating that you're able to do this with such great results so you have some knowledge there to do it. I know you're not sneaking and putting it into a regular oven.. 😮😅.
I seriously am interested in this and would be curious to know how it's done.
I also would really appreciate a video about this.
I agree. There is an art to cooking this way.
Townsends might be worth a look. He has a few snippets of coal management explanations in his videos while he cooks (usually outdoor bonfire or dutch oven though. Not a hearth). That said, I am not aware of any videos specifically dedicated to just that topic.
I also would like to be taught!!!
Great idea! I'd love to learn more about this too!
Justine, i LOVE watching your videos!! I hope Ron appreciates all you do!! ❤
That satisfied look on your face with that bite of pie was so sweet Justine! Looks like a delicious meal!
😋
I'm truly love the nature and this style of living just adorable and love this too 💝💟
i do
@@sulistiawati1212 ?
I love your fireplace stove. All of that beautiful cast iron. It must be very warm in the summer, but wonderful when it's cold.
Everything looks so amazing!! You make the cooking process look so easy. I can’t imagine keeping a fire going 24/7 even in summer!!
Little tip: Always leave the sliced eggplants in a salty cold water like 30 minutes before cook and fry them. This way, the bitterness of the eggplant will be gone.
Thank you.. I was thinking how to get rid of it ❤
or just salt them and then rinse before using them.
Huckleberries are super easy to grow from seed. I have gotten annual seeds, as opposed to a perennial plant, and they sprout up like mad.
In your opinion, which tastes better? I know nothing about huckleberries but I would suspect that the annuals might have better flavor.
Where do you purchase huckleberry seeds??
@@kandrstrickland9746amazon sells them
У нас в лесу полным полно черники. Ягода вкусная, и очень полезна для хорошего зрения.
Very beautiful apron matches the eggplant and the huckleberries.❤😊❤
The dinner looks yummy too.❤
Cat's on the table again! LOL Love the channel
So beautiful! That pie looks especially good! Thank you for this view into our past.
I love these wholesome asmr videos.
Thank you for bing in my home every night As I’m cooking Dinner you bring to my life so much contentment, especially when you and your boyfriend Say a Prayer before you Guys eat. so special. Thank you for sharing
Great fun watching these videos. Justine makes everything look delicious and easy. Love her outfits.
Wow, I love watching these videos and how people lived and thrived without all the modern conveniences we have... we are so fortunate yet we complain sometimes instead of being thankful... imagine all the hard work preparing meals from scratch three times a day, trapping, hunting, growing your own food, cleaning up, and all the other things... we have it so good...
Oh so delicious looking! Bet the cabin smells wonderful!
This is a really elegant meal. It looks amazing. I really enjoy, and learn, from your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Hello, how are you?
Love the recipes!
We don't have Huckleberries in Australia, looks like Blueberry pie. Delicious regardless. Also love seeing Mish mish. I have the exact same looking cat named Furie! Wish I could send a pic of my cat. He's black with the same eyes.
Belated Happy Birthday Ron!
❤ these videos not only help my 9 yo son to relax before we get ready for bed, but they also help me!! I don't have a fireplace but I like to set the TV to a crackling hearth fire for ambience. I wonder how silly early Americans would think us if they saw us today, setting the mood with a flat screen while the real fire comes from baseboard heaters, central air, and the stove/oven combo (even if microwaves and other kitchen gadgets are incorporated quite often for cooking!) I'm sure they would find us quite superficial and extravagant😂 imagine their confusion over the electric fireplace heaters!
We do that with eggplant but we bake them in the oven. Slice thinner, dip in egg and seasoned breadcrumbs and bake. We call them eggplant cookies. Yummy! Your whole meal looks wonderful. I love roasted chicken.
Can you air fry them as well?
I suppose you can. I don't have an air fryer so I've nevr tried.
Looks so delicious! Great job!
So happy you and Ron survived the heat!
Hi dear, I just started. Thank you for your support😊
This meal looks phenomenal, Justine! You are a pie crust genius. Way prettier than a store bought crust from a modern day oven. Have a wonderful Chew & Chat with Ron. Catch you both later or in the morning! Have a blessed week. xoxo
Watching your videos just giving me the vibes like living in the little house story books by laura 💐🫶
I learned how to cook on a wood stove and over, later in a fireplace. I can also cook over an open fire or a camp fire. I have a fire full set of cast iron cookware that I know how to use and my mom taught me how to cook without recipes.
I love this channel because it reminds of my childhood.
Wow!! That looks wonderful I could almost smell and taste it!! ❤😊
Good 👍
Hello, how are you?
Kittie helping with good energy ❤️❤️❤️😺
I so look forward to these weekly video’s! You and Ron make Wednesday even better! I’d be very interested in videos that highlighted outdoor cooking on the really hot days. The days it’s really uncomfortable to cook in the cabin. And I’ve always been intrigued with the outdoor oven that Ron built. You both are phenomenal people!
I couldn't do that in my modern kitchen. Very impressive thanks for sharing
I love all of the cast iron! (Not so much cleaning it) it cooks so well. I am also in love with MishMish! ❤
Once ironware has a good black baked on coating,if its used regularly it wont rust. Things also stop sticking so much.
Love your videos I love learning about the old days!!
It looks wonderful as usual, Justine. Love the channel.
So cool to watch, and gives me such an appreciation of how easy we have it now in America, and how much more leisure time we might enjoy vs 200 years ago..
I just love this. They may have even served the pie with freshly skimmed cream, thick and rich. And this is exactly how my mom fried eggplant and zucchini!
Hi dear, I just started. Thank you for your support❤😊
Always a pleasure watching your videos 💖
You make it look so easy Justine!! 👏🏻🩷
You guys are amazing. We need to go back to this way of life. It’s like Justine said, quality and freshness.
I never asked huckleberries before. I will have to see if I can find them… your chicken and eggplant looked delicious. Love your videos! 🥰💕❤️👍👍
I love watching these videos ❤ I am an American living in Africa and I am documenting my experience on my channel. I learn a lot from Justine. I love her tools.
I made the roast chicken for dinner on Labor Day with the “stuffing” and my family loved it!! I did add sweet potatoes and onions on the bottom of the pan as I had to feed 5 of us, so wanted it to stretch.
Wow, how wonderfil. Pratt its not hard
Justine you are amazing!!! So this is what my ancestors in the1600-1800s did for meals. Thank you!!
Looks really good. I always look forward to your awesome videos.
Hello, how are you?
Absolutely love it. I would love to see a tour of your farm and garden. I would also love to see gardening videos...maybe another channel? 😁
That’s a fabulous meal, and Mish Mish is so sweet!
Justine, your videos are so very relaxing, and your face just radiates joy! Sending much love from Texas!
Thank you for your kind words and for being here. I love TX!
Hi dear, I just started. Thank you for your support❤😊
I'm sure I'd give up anything to live like this 😭❤️
Me too!!!💜
Me too
Me too.
So do i.
Join the Amish😅
I love your videos. They make we want to time travel!!!! Plus your kitty is precious!! These videos are so cozy.
YES!!! This is a video I've been waiting for her to do. Yes, just simple salt & pepp but that's ok. Inlove how this woman cooks with fire to perfection everytime. Love this channel 😊👍💕
Hello, how are you?
It's truly wonderful to acquire this knowledge.
Greetings from Montana 👋😊I swear I could smell the chicken and stuffing through the screen!! It looks amazingly delicious….and huckleberry pie for dessert!! You are definitely speakin’ my language 😊🤣Thank you for another fantastic dinner idea! Blessings to you and Ron ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I so enjoy your video’s you make cooking in the fireplace look so easy
Looks very good great work you guys❤
I watch your videos and feel relaxed and they ease me when im anxious...love the vids..thanks much..
So not even two minutes in, I had to do a search for "types of huckleberries" as whatever you grow in Missouri is nothing like what I grew up on in Idaho (apparently ours are Mountain Huckleberries), and I know you probably aren't off your rocker with foraging. Learned something new today!
👍
You are my favourite channel of all time, keep up your amazing work. It’s a pure joy to listen to & so peaceful! Sending Love from Montreal, Canada X.
This is very impressive considering how hot it is where you are. The food looks delicious and I have to add I love your dress and the fact that there are no Huckleberry stains on the apron.
Cheers from the pacific northwest. Canada side.
i can live here forever the place is beautiful
❤
the good old days😊
Huckleberries look just like blueberries, huh how neat! ❤
As always everything looks so delicious!
Only use to seeing the coastal red huckleberry so yeah it's interesting
I enjoyed watching your cooking videos over 200 year ago
No plastic in this kitchen - Yay!. That pie looks delicious and I want a piece please. The chicken is to die for and that seasoned bread is amazing. I am going to do my stuffing like this from now on. Healthy and delightful cooking Justine. Love to puss puss. Carole from New Zealand.
Hi dear, I just started. Thank you for your support❤😊
I am grateful, to have actual glimpse of 18nth area. Nice work, highly appreciated ❣
I bet the smells in that little cabin are just wonderful ❤
LOVE learning about how the mothers in the 17 and 1800's cooked. It had to have been very hard work for them. Where is the fridgeoraters? How did the mothers keep their leftovers cold for the next day?
Your videos are so relaxing☺️
Watching these videos makes me wish i had a time machine😭 life just seems so much more fun and simple back then
Looks amazing as always 🎉
Very well-presented information. Everything is concise and to the point. Thank you!
I love this meal! Chicken is always delicious, I love eggplant-usually make it differently (Baba ghanoush))
And this pie looks fantastic 😋-can’t wait to try it myself😁
Very relaxing to watch and informative. Thank you for what you do.
Justine, I always thought huckleberries grew only in Montana. Silly me. Your pie, and everything, looks beyond wonderful. Thank you for a delightful video. Love your purple dress to ‘coordinate’ with the huckleberries.
