Is There a Tasting History Cookbook and Where Can I Buy It?

Updated

Yes. The Tasting History website states that The Tasting History Cookbook is available now, with purchase links to Amazon and Barnes & Noble. If you already watch the show and want the recipes and history in book form, those are the two buying options named on the site.

What the Site Says About the Cookbook

The cookbook is promoted directly on the Tasting History homepage with the line "The Tasting History Cookbook is Available Now!" and two purchase buttons:

  • Buy on Amazon
  • Buy on Barnes & Noble

That is the full extent of what the site itself states about the book — it confirms availability and names the two retailers. It does not list a price, format, or page count on the homepage.

How the Cookbook Relates to the Show

Tasting History describes itself as "the cooking show for history lovers and the history show for food lovers," covering foods "from Ancient Babylon to WWII." The cookbook is presented as an extension of that same project: the recipes and historical stories featured on the show, collected for readers who want them off-screen.

If you want a sense of the range before buying, the site's episode list shows the kind of material the show works with, for example:

Episode topic Period / region
The Aztec Origins of Salsa Mexico, 16th–19th century
What Italian Soldiers Ate in World War II Italy, WWII
Making 2,000 Years of Mustard Ancient Rome, Medieval France, Victorian England
Potted Meat – Preserving Leftovers in the 18th Century British Isles, 18th century
Who Invented the Piña Colada? Caribbean, 20th century
History's Worst Copper Merchant & His 4000 Year Old Cake North Africa & the Near East, Ancient

The cookbook is the natural next step if episodes like these are what you want in a format you can cook from directly.

Getting Updates

The site also offers a newsletter sign-up ("Sign up for the Newsletter"). Subscribing is the straightforward way to hear about cookbook news, new episodes, and any additional buying options that get announced later.
