    The certain captivating flair which Thomas brings in telling of fragments of ancient food history is never more magic than in his episodes about the Oxyrhynchus Papyri. A tantalising glimpse of food thousands of years ago. More please!

Acquired Tastes: An Interview With James Chatto Part Two
Q: What was difficult about creating some of the recipes, and what challenges did you face?
Each recipe had its own hurdles; for example, the Thai Golden Threads required dexterity to salvage the delicate threads from boiling syrup using two chopsticks, while the chocolate cake depended heavily on individual ovens and timing to avoid drying out, requiring readers to adjust based on their own equipment.
Acquired Tastes: An Interview With James Chatto Part Two
Q: What was the recipe that you had on the book for this chapter?
The chosen recipe was sweet potato rice porridge, a congee-like dish where rice is cooked with water and finished with chopped sweet potato, a famine-era staple that traveled across Mexico, the Philippines, and China and endured through generations.
Acquired Tastes an Interview with James Chatto Part One
Q: How did your family collaborate on researching and writing the book?
James, his wife Wendy, and their son collaborated closely, with Wendy handling deep research, and the trio editing each other to keep the work balanced and thorough.
Acquired Tastes an Interview with James Chatto Part One

Acquired Tastes an Interview with James Chatto Part One
