Hi I am Ann Reardon, How to Cook That is my youtube channel it is filled with crazy sweet creations made just for you. This week I am following a 260 year old recipe from The Compleat Confectioner by Hannah Glasse. 18th Century cooking is fascinating because it gives us a glimpse into what it was like to bake without electric mixers, modern ingredients and ready made products that we take fro granted, such as jam. In this video we will make bride cake, macaroons, Naples biscuits and of course cafe foot jelly to culminate in a grand trifle the likes of which you've never seen before. If you've ever been curious about how gelatin is made or even if you can make gelatine at home this video is for you.
Join me for creative cakes, chocolate & desserts, new video every Friday.

[@Anhilare]

whoever said chicken juice was an acceptable substitute needs to go away. calves' foot gelatin is much more neutral (you can use beef foot too). to remove impurities they need to be scrubbed very well so that they're clean. then you boil them twice: the water from the first boil is dumped out because it's impure, and the second boil lasts for hours. the end result is delicious 😋

I love how polite the boys are...

It was a pudding of some sort, but I wish my siblings had been half as polite as those four lol. I don't remember what type of pudding or what was in it, but i vividly remember my middle brother (middle of 12) pushing his bowl aside and giving me a very calm look and asking what he had done wrong. Apparently my Step mom use to use straight cocoa powder when they cussed so they thought I was punishing them. I never cooked anything like that with them again lol.

calf foot jelly has a distinctly different taste. The fat and collagen renders out much differently

[@FaerieDust]

Yeah, that was my thought as well. The proportion of collagen is higher than in a whole chicken, too, which I think might make a difference (like, you'll get a lower proportion of flavour compounds overall = less flavour to try to filter out).

[@Ajtech369]

My thought as well. I know for a fact that calf’s foot jelly, if prepared and cleaned correctly has very little flavor of the calf’s feet. My family has a cattle ranch of about 65 to 70 cows and my grandma showed a similar way as the jelly you made with the chickens. Your best bet in finding calf’s feet is by finding a place that raise cattle for meat and after the butcher is done to ask for the feet to be cleaned and then you can use them for the jelly. I hope you can try it again because I think it will be a much better experience for you.

[@cmicni]

I have to agree, obviously today calf foot jelly isn't easy to come by, but the chicken version made in this video is going to have a much stronger aroma and - as seen - be impossible to overpower with anything sweet, be it macaroons, raspberry jam or Nutella really. Immeadiately as I heard chicken jelly I knew this was bound to fail without a modern substitute.

[@FaerieDust]

@@cmicni I'm wondering if it could've worked better with chicken feet and/or maybe the outer part of a bunch of chicken wings (the bits with basically no meat). You want to use the parts of the animal with the highest concentration of connective tissues and the least amount of everything flavourful.

[@JotaC]

Actually, even the chicken one you can get around and make it much less flavored, but it's hard when you get store-bought chickens that have been laying there in the freezer for days or even weeks, they'll have a very pungent flavor. My gramma used to make jelly with chicken and it didn't taste like much, but she filtered it a lot of times, and also used lime juice instead of lemon (which is much stronger and better at removing the chicken flavor), and used cinnamon and vanilla extract as well.

[@songofshadow5043]

As someone who has eaten a lot of pork's feet and similar, those barely have any taste. So I imagine if instead of with chicken roast, it was done with calve's feet, that it would taste more like modern jelly.

It definetely would because of different collagen values of calf and chicken. So this was never really going to work without the modern store bought jelly.

[@BrianWanes]

I adore the hoity toity British accent. Every time you say "sugaah" an angel gets its wings

[@NotRedRobyn]

I have watched this several times because Ann is so soothing. I love when she talks in her 200 year-old voice

[@CarlGorn]

That posh accent had me chuckling all through the episode. XD

[@kiraandou6096]

For anyone liking Anns 200 year old recipes I would recommend the Townsends Channel here on KZbin! They have a whole lot of series to 18th and early 19th century cooking! They did quite a few of Hannah Glass Recipes too and in general a lot of early american recipes mixed with english and even some german ones~ All done in period acurate kitchens or camp situations, they even built a block house from scratch last year!

[@adiposeNarnian]

I'ma go check it out.

[@adiposeNarnian]

(after searching) oh, THOSE Townsends. Obvi. I used to get the catalog, but didn't know about the KZbin channel.

[@karenramnath9993]

Good channel, highly recommend.

[@ShonaMcCarthy]

One of the things I like watching in these videos is the relationship between Ann and her husband. They're a couple who seems to have been together for a very long time. But they still really seem to like and trust each other anyway.

[@karenramnath9993]

Goalzzzzz...👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

[@emelkangi]

I wish I could taste it! In Turkey, there’s a dessert called “Tavuk Gogsu” (translated: chicken breast). It’s a dairy based dessert made with actual chicken breast. So yummy! When you know it’s chicken, you can taste it. But when I was younger, I thought for sure it was just a name, not related to the actual ingredients.

[@inkblotCrisis]

Mind: Oh good, nice sweet jelly and cake with nice tinge of tart from the berries. Tongue: *SURPRISE IT'S CHICKEN* Mind: Why have you betrayed me...

[@Catmomma]

Lmfaoo I'm cry laughing

[@evab.6240]

😂😂

[@amandafeliciano542]

I laughed so hard lololol

[@terriatca1]

Your sons' Sweet Chicken comment had me howling with laughter. You family is awesome in general and the fact that they are willing guinea pigs for you.

[@kittenmimi5326]

And the fact that some are still trying to be polite after given sweet chicken jelly gosh 🤣

[@darrenthebuilder5068]

The transition from the British accent to the Australian one gets me every time. Well, almost every time. Well, once or twice. Well, once. But it was a good once. (Really though, whether it's meant to be or not, the British accent is pretty impressive. At least, it is to me.)

[@thatonerobloxkid4335]

No one: Literally no one: Not even Dave: Ann: **Fancy Accent**

It s the not even dave for me

[@musilovesbooks]

Yes.

When did all the boys grow up? They, and Dave are much braver than I am! Love y'all

[@scipunkdollstudios4081]

[@equisita8097]

Love the videos! The taste testers, the way you read these old recipes, keep it up!

[@jeniferalvarez2914]

Please make more of these videos! They’ve become my favorite! ❤️

[@JudyCZ]

2:15 Wow! That's the strangest thing I've ever seen! 😮 I never knew this about nutmeg and it's one of my favourite spices. Thank you Ann as always for educating us! 🥰

[@elise1227]

I'm guessing 'Mummy' in this means a steady boil. Like a quiet murmuring sound

[@timfrey2358]

Elise I finally found it. Google Books, The English dialect dictionary, says Mummy is "a soft, shapeless mass, a pulp"

[@_b.4596]

@@timfrey2358 well now I feel bad. that's what i call my mom 😅

[@asmamushtaq2073]

It means mushy

[@codyuntch4850]

I love these videos. ❤️ it helps me appreciate all that we can do these days that took so much time before.

[@sannelahm9322]

Your channel is soo wholesome 😍 love that you use your kids and hubby to taste test everything ❤

[@MossyMozart]

@Sanne Lahm - I wonder if they volunteer, are paid substantially, or are in thrall to Chef Reardon.

[@scipunkdollstudios4081]

Those boys sound exactly like Dave when they talk! I love it!

[@hoperogan]

Love the voice you used to read! Your normal voice is so different that it was evident when you were reading from the book. I love both your voices, they're so soothing! And the recipe! Man, it was awesome and awe inspiring. A half hour of beating eggs!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!

[@ruffymt4188]

Remove the chicken flavor by using the remains of their children Insult at its best

[@MB-mj7pl]

She used the chicken to destroy the chicken.

[@Saige_L]

Oh, how did I not think of that

[@nickisuhl]

I've had a terrible weekend and a tough Monday and I come here because you are so soothing. I love listening to you. "A good cook is like a doctor" apparently also applies to KZbin bakers. Thank you so much for your videos.

I'm so early my phone hasn't registered to send me the notification yet lol! I love love love these recreating-old-recipies videos, they're absolutely brilliant and so so entertaining!! 💙💙

[@nugg3016]

I loved how you told us about the nutmeg and mace, I didn't know that before!

[@charlotteseverino755]

I love all your "200/2000" years recipes. It make us realise that things now are definitely easier.

[@gabbystyles9419]

I’ve been watching your videos for the past 7 years now and I am now 15. I love the content 🧡 will always be a supporter

[@AA4PJM]

OMG the kids faces when they tried the chicken jelly lol!! so funny!!!

[@Phoenix-mercy]

I think it would be interesting if you tried some of the recipes from the channel English heritage they have a cooking series called the Victorian way that I would so enjoy to see you try

[@Catmomma]

With her attempts at the old BRITISH/ENGLISH ACCENT makes it even better. Makes it seem like some how she found someone from 200 years go to do the video with her. I'm huge in to living history well any kinda history at that. History has a way of repeating its self

[@arnabontempshemenway7449]

Something about these videos is so nice you can just lay down on a fall day and watch them as rain falls outside 😊

[@roary1250]

I don’t know why but it’s so satisfying watching you cook. Your voice is so soothing

[@malaknooh4700]

First of all: Thank you for another amazing and convenient recipes Ann, though I will not try that chicken trifle. Second: What does "boil to a mummy mean?"

[@alicehu8880]

A mummy! 😂😂😂

[@timfrey2358]

someone else said probably a simmer or low boil, like it's murmuring, mummy sounds like an old word for mumbling.

[@timfrey2358]

Okay lol I finally found it. Google Books, The English dialect dictionary, says Mummy is "a soft, shapeless mass, a pulp"

[@censusgary]

Boil the currants “to a mummy”? What, pray tell, is a “mummy”?

[@jennakhrysavek8443]

@gary Cooper basically, cook it till it falls apart. like a horror show mummy. ;)

[@sorettaray8829]

mummy means cooked to a soft, shapeless mass, a pulp

[@PurpleHonee]

I love, love, LOVED the kid's reactions! I hadn't caught up on all the videos yet, so I expected just Dave and his reactions are always amazing. Wonderful video and oh my gosh it must have taken so long to make all of that. The Bride's cake looks interesting!

[@PurpleHonee]

Watching it again. Still as good as the first time. 😜

[@ellenspear50]

How cool to see the mace and nutmeg together! I've never seen mace when it wasn't a powder, and wondered how it's different from nutmeg if they're from the same plant.

[@AmimaTahir22]
