As someone who used to think history was boring, I want to give a huge thank you to Max for making history more enjoyable.
When I was still in school, the majority of history class for me was scrolling through a (rather vague and inaccurate) History book and sitting on our desk the whole semester. What I think would have been better would be to actually SEE the historic landmarks, rather than just hear about it.
Cooking was a preferred class of mine in High School because I actually got to practice cooking myself among other classmates, as my school had a “Bistro” class where you would prep food that would later be served to the teachers, simulating being an actual cook at a restaurant.
Max’s videos remind me of the fun I had at the Bistro class, while also giving what my History class was lacking. Because by making these dishes, I am, in a ways, being shown what was eaten at the time.
