Ancient Recipes With Sohla (2021 - 2022)

Sohla El-Waylly harnesses flavors to recreate Aztec tlahcos, which would eventually evolve into the tacos people know and love today; Sohla tries out an ancient Aztec recipe for xocolatl -- a precursor to hot chocolate.

Bread and cheese is a staple for ancient Romans; Sohla bakes Panis Quadratus, a type of bread that was discovered fossilized in the ruins of Pompeii, along with a cheese made from goat's milk.

Sohla travels back to the Islamic Golden Age of 10th-century Baghdad and recreates Kishkiyya, a 1,000-year-old hangover cure from one of the oldest Arabic cookbooks.

Sohla recreates Rou Jia Mo, one of the first versions of a hamburger from ancient China in 200 BCE.
