Table of the Gods is a similar channel specifically about recipes of ancient Mesopotamia. Very neat stuff, some of which I believe comes from this very tablet.
All this content proudly and shamelessly lifted from the evil empire. ๐
Don't mind me, just here to updoot My Side of the Mountain. I remember reading that, and at least one of its sequels, way back in grade school. I wonder if it's due for a comeback. Seems like it would fit into "cozy lit" quite well, with its low stakes and ridiculously competent protagonist.
Haha, I'm a late-middle-aged bloke FWIW, and that book absolutely fascinated me. Just... the possibilities, you know? Ah... I love how this guy "John Plant" (i.e. Primitive Technology) teaches us how to make all kinds of useful stuff out... almost nothing, really!
