How about cooking from 'De re coquinaria' an ancient Roman cookbook which is available translated on Project Gutenberg? It's the earliest surviving collection of recipes from Europe.
Came here to suggest this.

Yessss!
And one more vote for that from me
Oh god YES PLEASE
This was a (expectedly) hilarious but (unexpectedly) endearing video! Loved the chefs softly guiding Mike to the answers in a way that encouraged him and reminded him that he does indeed know these skills and techniques.
That's the way I teach my own students, and I got the same excitement and happiness whenever Mike realized he was actually doing each step correctly. Fantastic job, Mike!
That's so nice to hear - thank you!
I felt so proud of him at each of those points too.
@@SortedFood It's true, you all are the best; friends, students, teachers all.
I loved the ending where James, Jamie and Ebbers were complementing and applauding Mike for his performance because he isn’t good at accepting appraisal so deflected everything away, but he’s really hard on himself and puts himself down frequently and won’t commend his own efforts so the team around him need to do more to raise him up from the hole he digs himself into
Jamie: I think you whip then you nay nay...
I mean if that isn’t the most dad thing you’ve ever then I don’t know what is
“That’s very Genoise of you” would like a word
Umm, just curious, what if you nay nay before you whip?
Sheepdog Smokey Then you get whipped nay nays, and nobody wants that
I startled myself with the literal lol his joke made me do. 😂
@@TheTaylorwailer me too lol - cats went flying everywhere at the sound :P
"Omelette Norvegienne"
Me: Ah, a Norwegian omelet!
"Baked Alaska."
Me: Yes, of course.
I am Norwegian, and I've never seen anything like this thing.
So, never heard either name, but upon seeing their description I realised I’ve done that a bunch of times as a kid, finding the entire concept of tossing ice cream in the oven without it smelting a special kind of magic. Been years since I did it last, now I know what to cook next week :)
@@ericmyrs It's quite usual. In Poland we have Greek (Grecian?) fish, which has absolutely nothing to do with Greek cuisine.
@@ericmyrs I'm guessing it comes from same root as 'baked Alaska', the peaks look like snowy peaks. I don't think they do those in Alaska either, it's a French dish.
@@Lark1610 In Spain we have "French omelette" which is, just a regular omelette. And "catanies", which have nothing to do with the Italian city.
"Ebbers set timer for 10 minutes."
"Ebbers what is 16 ounces in grams?"
Not sure about this new Alexia model Sorted is bringing out.
Take my money!!!!
@Marius Periwinkle My thought was no Benuendos, no sale.
I love Bennuendos i love Dad jokes of the week, there is nothing they do that i dont like. i'm Soooo bias
Imagine an Ebbers alexa. Innuendos and all.
I ABSOLUTELY would purchase an Ebbers.
Mike: makes a perfect sponge
Also Mike: struggles to get pre-made ice cream out of a tub.
Flings ice cream in professional scooper off, on to the floor.
Lol omggg
Ice cream can be a callous bastard sometimes
Still not as funny as Barry not knowing how to peel a banana!
@@kristinowens4972 omg I remember that ! So damned funny !!!!
I’d actually pay for an “OK Ebbers” feature on my phone lol
And them telling me directions on Google maps 🙌🏻
That needs to be a built-in feature in the Sorted: Packs app!
I'd buy that in a heartbeat 😂
100% would purchase an app
100% would buy it too !
This was the most wholesome Sorted episode ever! Jamie helping, James being nice, Ben helping with measurements. It was just so nice!
Mike is sooooo underrated 👌👌 he needs to trust himself moreeee
Yesss he's awesome! As are the other boys💗
Could not agree more (though, I would agree with @Spiritual Alchemy& kundalini, all the Normals are much better than they give themselves credit for. They need to trust in their skills more, because they definitely have skills.
I've said this before, and I'll keep repeating it, were I still running my own restaurant (I'm a retired chef), I would hire any of the guys in a heartbeat, and know that they would do a bangup job!
Mike doesn’t give himself enough credit. In the battles his dishes were often my favorites!
I agree he truly is the most consistent 💜
I agree
He's definitely hard on himself, he's better than his confidence level.
That is an amazing performance from Mike there. Truly amazing he pulled it off for sure
Yes! Mike is my favourite, I almost always preferred his battle dishes.
Ben: Thinking Jamie is about to ask a genuine question
Jamie: “Is that how you make marbles?”
Ben: Has a full on malfunction
“Nice Ben, s*** sandwich. Classic s*** sandwich there.” OH HOW MUCH I’VE MISSED JAMES AND HIS SAVAGENESS
That part alone just sums up the dynamics between Ben and James....it is soo damn good! lol
Ben the brown-nosing boy scout friend and James the tell it like it is, little filter, but still tries to be nice sometimes friend. This is so funny
8:15
Jamie: Is that how you make Marbles?
Ben: *Cannot Compute*
He literally broke Ben. lol
But is it?
Right, you could see Ben's brain spouting profanities out of his eyes XD
Quick, somebody Eric Lanlard him!
Jett Nash marbles are usually made of glass
@@jettnash5217 No, marbles are cut from molten glass and then rolled down spinning rollers that roll them into shape whilst they cool. czcams.com/video/dH2A-Pipf80/video.html Ignore the channel name.
Check out "The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy" by Hannah Glasse from 1747 - is was a bestseller in its day and is an important source for historians of British food. There is a bizarre recipe for "currey the Indian way" in it, the first british curry recipe we know of.
Ooh, I recommended her Compleat Confectioner but this one's even older, and with savory recipes, great idea!! I would love to see them try her recipes out 😄
I actually suggested a Townsend collab with this cook book in mind.
@@tythranduilion2410 Ann Reardon on How To Cook That has been doing a few recipes from the Compleat Confectioner, very entertaining.
@@fionaclaphamhoward5876 Oh, awesome, I love her blog! Thank you!
@@tythranduilion2410 Ann also does a short bio of Hannah Glasse in one of the vids, it's such a sad story. Her books were best sellers in their time but the system was against her as a single mum (widowed) so she died penniless... While the books sold and sold and sold. You prob know all that already, I just find it so sad and so unfair.
“That’s very genoise of you.” 🤦🏻 Save it for the fridge cam, Jamie.
James just munching away at the leftover sponge is a whole-ass mood
And his ‘ it’s so good !’ So lovely
Mike being so justifiably pleased with himself and the others proud of him is the wholesome content I needed today.
I was gonna say, it’s very nice to see jamie so supportive lol.
This book is unnecessarily complicated so Mike producing a remarkable end result was amazing! He should be justifiably proud of himself because he didn’t require much input from the side and most which was given only steered him towards an answer he was close to attaining anyway! Massive well done Michael Huttlestone 👏🏻👏🏻
Jamie helping is one of the sweetest moments ever.
Correction - James saying "it's really nice" while eating all of the leftover sponge is even sweeter
Omg when mike said "I bring you down. I've been bringing you down for 10 years"
My heart 💔💔 mike noo you're so valued
Lol, I think it is more bringing you down to a level normals can understand, as opposed to Chefy level which is beyond mere motal understanding.
Tbh Mike puts himself down so much that it's getting frustrating. He needs to keep a handle on his esteem issues if that's the problem while on camera because it's incredibly offputting.
@@Maghanashi I do t think so. Honestly it’s their humanity and openness which make me love all of them. Everyone has faults and that’s what makes the team so damned nice and normal 😊
Mike is easily the most advanced "normal", like at the end how James was giving him nuanced tips like "don't overwhip the whites before you add the sugar" - meanwhile Jaime is still stuck on "Risotto has to be stirred"
Only when he has the recipe. He's admitted that he goes on auto - pilot and doesn't internalize the steps for later use
Mike has great technique
Jamie's food seems to have great flavour
Barry does... novel
@@ThisIsNotIt37 the current badges thing is beginning to show that Barry has amazing technique and has pick up loads!
I would say Mike is the best normal in terms of knowledge and understanding, Jamie is the best normal in terms of cooking and control and Barry is the normal with the best knife technique and leaving every hob on the stove on of course 😂 they all have their own individual specialties, if you could combine all 3 of their skills into one, you would have another chef in the studio 😂
“You whip and then you nae nae”
Jamie, stop being such a dad
Actually had me rolling on the floor
I came here for this without even finishing the video
I'm now curious what would happen if you nae nae before you whip.
Sheepdog Smokey you open a portal to the demon realm and begin the apocalypse
James munching away on the sponge and going "it's really nice" was adorable 😂
"How much Vanilla do you want?"
"VANILLA!"
It said "vanilla." Stop. XD
Oh man, Mike is so sweet and talented - although James calling him classically trained at the end was _adorable_
what about Dalí: Les Diners de Gala - Salvador Dali’s Surrealist Cookbook
This needs so many more likes
I just looked it up out of curiosity and the pictures alone make me want to see them do a video on it!
Yes!!! Emmy from EmmymadeinJapan done a recipe from this book (I want to say it was eggs “aged” in lime) and even she said the book was a little odd, even for Dali 😂 amazing pictures and artwork though!
Nidhi KODURU commenting to make sure they see this!!! it needs to happen!!
omg yes
It's official. Mike is a classically-trained pastry chef. He's graduated. Jamie and Baz need to catch up.
Which means, there needs to be an Ultimate Battle somewhere in the near future.
Ben was such a proud dad throughout the video, from the coaching to his small smiles. Such a wholesome SortedFood video (for once haha) !
Me: “Comes in expecting a disaster”
End of video: “HE DID IT!”
Okay, I'm glad all 3 of them were telling him to be proud of his achievement, because out of all 5, Mike is the hardest on himself. Look at how much he was deflecting the compliments.
"That involves maths, so you've just made it harder" "He's not Barry!" Oof. Poor Barry. :D
James is savage...but I love it
Jaime is always a Jerk towards Barry. Funny part, Barry has turned into a much better cook and Berry's palette is much more refined.
This makes me feel like Mike is no longer a "Normal"
Do a “Pass it on” with the 1914 cook book.
!!!!!!
That’s evil, I like it! I want to see this happen now!
"I think you whip and then you nae nae", "that was very genoise of you" - this is why we love Jamie.
I love how this is an Ultimate Battle of Mike vs himself
It totally is.
And he totally wins! I'm really proud of him 👍
Can’t exactly explain why, but Mike’s reaction/facial expressions while James gave him advice about whipping the egg whites was adorable. 😊
Jaime's sooo helpful:
"I think you whip, and then you nae nae."
That was actually impressive.
Barry would have made cloud eggs on top.
Poor Barry will never live that down
@@lux0rd01 We'll make sure of that
Or a roasted pepper.
I’d like to see them use “The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook”, there’s a BUNCH of recipes in there that I’d love to see the boys try.
That's a thing that exists? Well I know what I want for my birthday!
Marius Periwinkle they have done HP themed things, but nothing with the cookbook.
And the recipes are pretty great! I use a modified version of the Onion Soup from there and it is wonderful
I actually rather like the trend of X-themed cookbooks. It seems often they have solid reliable recipes with a bit of narrative flavor, and having a bit of fun and magic (as it were) in the kitchen can get people (especially kids) cooking more.
Please do the Harry Potter cookbook!
This gives me life 😂 I laughed out loud alone when the ice cream flung on the floor the second time
I was thinking the whole time, why don't you dip it in hot water for 30 seconds and then tip it out whole?
I definitely think mike is the best of the “normals” and he deserves more credit
Crazy idea: use the 1914 cookbook in a pass it on 😂
I thought about that too...
Agreed
Came on for this!
Marianna Kussler this is asking for a disaster 🤭
@@XingAoShen exactly! 😁
Mike: reads the title
Me: oh, veggie omelette
Ben: a baked Alaska
*WHAT IN THE WORLD* 🤣🤣💀💀
Yep, straight up thought they were talking about eggplants and then they got to the ice cream. 🤣
7:18 god what I wouldnt do to replace my Siri’s voice with Ben’s voice
Yay, James is back!! 🥳
Also: Pass it on with a recipe from this cookbook!
Love this!!!
I recommend the Sorted Food guys give The Canadian Home Cook Book 1877: Tried! Tested! Proven! a try. I gifted it to some American friends as a joke.
"I bring you down - I've been bringing you down for ten years" nooooooo Mike you're an angel and we love you
I would love to see someone’s old, handwritten family recipes “decoded”
"butter the size of a hen's egg" "three thumbs worth of sticks" Those are some of the instructions in my family's old recipes. lol
"It's coz you offered, mate." 😂
So, my first thought was literally to put ice cream on an omlette, and that's why i'm not a cook.
Starry Skies I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. I was so confused as to what it was until they explained.
Starry Skies same... the thought made my stomach churn
@@XingAoShen My thought was that it wasn't a modern sweet ice cream, but more of an older style. back before modern refridgeration, there used to be WAY more types of ice cream. I've even heard they had fish ice cream.
I am a cook and that was still my first thought
Mike, it looks gorgeous.
Here's an idea:
Pass it on: 1914 cookbook.
Order: chefs to normies.
I think you guys should do something from “The Nordic Baking Book” or “The Nordic Cookbook” by Chef Magnus Nilsson. There are some very interesting recipes in that book that I’d love to see you all attempt.
I'd say, have each of the "normals" try at least one recipe from this book before moving on to the next.
dare i say mike's version, to me, was more aesthetically pleasing than ben and james' 👀
Definitely! The peaks are more forgiving than the stripes, and you get more variation in caramelization/ flavor.
Yeeah the rustic feel fits it very well. Can one call food rustic even ? Huh now I got really unsure.. But even if, assuming you get what I mean by it =P
Ben: cuts a piece from the sponge
Mike: WOW WOW
JAMIE: WHATS HE DOING WHAT HE DOING
JAMES:EBBERS, THATS IS UNACCEPTABLE,I FEEL VIOLATED
Also Ben: beautifully even, because melted butter is laced through it, you get a wonderful even golden brown colour
"Classic s**t sandwich Ben!" Hahaha I love curry
Had to stop watching for a moment to stop laughing at Ben’s reaction to Jamie asking if that’s how marbles are made
10:28 mike: “we keeping the sponges by the way”
Mike (happy voice): “trifle!”
James (snacking on the sponges): “.....” (yum yum)
Wendy R. Ben said trifle
James and Ben actually look so proud, it's adorable.
can i just say... james didn’t even have to try to make his veins pop out on his arms.. they just. did.
I love how encouraging everyone is in this video!!! Mike should be proud 😊😊👍👍👍 he did well
I'm with James: let's go to modern cusine now! Minimalist and weird stuff that will most likely confuse the normals heheh
Molecular gastronomy a la Wylie Dufresne.
@@slashetc I second molecular gastronomy
good thing is that you can't really mess up as long as you follow the recipe.
note a note would be a funny one too.
Nathan Bailey's 1736 cookbook, "Dictionarium Domesticum."
They've done old French, now time for old English :)
Mike's "I'm the raising agent" is basically a Sorted version of the try guys' Zach's "I'm the clitoris" 😂
Loved the addition of the chefs chatting about the correct dish!
1914 remote chef. The chef has the cookbook in a different room, the normal takes instructions.
And the other way round - normals trying to decipher the cookbook and instructing chefs would be amazing!
jacko2131 yes to this and MissMoon111's suggestion! I'd love to see it be a switch. First the normals all sit around arguing and trying to instruct the chefs without being able to quote the book. Then when its done the chiefs switch places with the normals and talk them through what they should do to make that recipe.
Edit: i say arguing cause well, it seems like what would happen with them trying to decipher the recipe and figuring out how to best communicate it to the chefs.
MissMoon111, definitely agree on instructing the chefs. They aren’t allowed to fix wrong instructions so when the normals mess up, they just panic and stress out while knowing they’re doing the wrong thing.
“I think you whip and then you nae nae.”
Well I guess the dad joke of the week come early this week lol
I come for fun that was my only laugh out loud moment of the episode
Mike did so well!! I was so impressed when he guessed it was a baked Alaska 😂 never in a thousand years would I have figured that out on my own
Need to do Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking, the 5 part version.
Jamie: “I think you whip.. and then you nae nae” 🤣🤣
How about “The Forme of Cury” one of the oldest cook books in English (c.1390) with recipes attributed to the chief to Richard II?
Eleanor Newman excellent suggestion! What about Pleyne Delyt
@@reginaromsey Except Pleyne Delyt is modern redactions of period recipes, which takes the fun out of it. But I'm adding my voice for Forme of Cury - I've been wanting them to try some medieval recipes for aaaaaages.
If they're feeling _really_ adventurous, they could try Marcus Gavius Apicius: De Re Coquinaria. I believe it's one of the first known cookbooks, originally compiled in the 1st century AD. It may be hard to find a pure translated copy, without other things added to it, like additional history lessons, but that may add to the fun.
plus it makes a good James joke.
@@Original_Tenshi_Chan Why not both? Also, medieval Mongolian with A Soup For The Qan!
Doubles Battle:
Two teams, each with one chef and one normal, making their interpretation of the same dish from the book.
Congrats Mike you looked so relaxed while doing something so complicated
When Mike hit the lever on the scoop and the ice cream just hopped out & launched directly onto the floor I laughed so hard I had to stop the video. Seriously though, well done!
What about a cookbook called "Eat what you Watch: A Cookbook for Movie Lovers" where you guys pick the dish of your favourite films?
This sounds like a GREAT idea!
Like Binging with Babish stuff?
James Cook - that’s the joke
And get Binging with Babish on the show for that :D Have him cook with one normal against a normal and a cook for example!
Yeah, that's the cookbook that Babish wrote.
James getting SPICY in this ep! Love it~
I like how they stressed him out with the recipe, but still offered a lot of support so he wasn't completely out on a limb
I wish Mike wasn’t so hard on himself! He does a great job usually!
So glad you've included a preview of the intended finished product which I felt was missing from the past videos. It makes watching the chaos much more exciting.
James and Ebbers are so proud. Mike actually listens and learned something!
Super proud. I know they'd sorted lots of stuff, but I can't help but be proud when they talk bout cooking techniques they've learned a long the way. *tearing up a bit
That "whip > nayy nayy" dad joke came out of Jamie so casually that I thought it was Sunday for a moment.
1914: pass it on, It'll be hell and it'll be hilarious
I guess you could say it'll hell-arious... yep, ill see myself out.
I love how this segment has become an ode to a technical challenge from the bake-off!! James being like Paul Hollywood and Ebers like Mary Berry at the beginning 🤣 Keep it coming!!!
Your little cutaway with Ben and James and what it was meant to look like reminded me so much of bake off 🤣 Loved the Ebbers “Alexa”, and really good job Mike..star baker! 🌟
The Forme of Cury: A Roll of Ancient English Cookery Compiled, about A.D. 1390 - Let's see how good you guys really are!
Cool "find"!
Amazon : www.amazon.com/Forme-Cury-Ancient-Compiled-Forgotten/dp/1606209604
Picking up a copy now!
Harold McGee's "on food and cooking: the science and lore of the kitchen"
The boys might not do that because it sounds like Ebbers might actually have fun.
I am so so happy that this got to be a positive experience for Mike! He deserves some more confidence in himself!
I know it's been over a year but I would LOVE to see this - or another vintage cookbook - make a reappearance.
Would still love to see this book used in Pass It On :p
Recipe Relay: 1914 cookbook edition
I was looking for this one
Oh god, it'd be an absolute disaster 🤣🤣
Me-looks up Norvegiene on google, laughs heartily. Also Me-watchs Ben and James explain how to make it. Cackles. Looks back at tiny tiny description given in book, rubs hands. This is gonna be **gooood**.
EDIT: More please! More 1918! Maybe each chef draws a random page number and recipe and then all come together to make a combined meal with each part? Modernistic minimalistic future foods too. Maybe try something from Mrs. Beetons for older? Good job Mike!
Mike you did sooooo well! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥I'm super impressed.
Move on to another cookbook. Much earlier. Might I recommend The Forme of Cury? Le Ménagier de Paris?
James drooling over the sponge is wholesome AF! Absolutely smashing job by Mike here!
Mike was amazing today! Kudos!! Also, I feel like the chefs were so proud of him even though they tried so hard to hide that. Also can we talk about James’s face while eating the scraps of the Genoise? So damn cute. x
Ahhhh...James, me lad, your searing snark has been thoroughly missed. It's SO GOOD to have you back!!
8:28 Ben's reaction and mine were identical. My inner chef was cringe/screaming at Mike - "NO!! Dont separate eggs OVER THE WHISKING BOWL!!!!!" Seriously, I almost had an anxiety attack watching that.
Final verdict: That looks AMAZING! Mike, so proud of you bro! Baked Alaska is one of those fiddly, classic deserts that if you go a little bit wrong, it all goes to hell in a handbasket. Well done!!
I love how Ben is always eagerly explaining things, while James is getting straight to the food.
8:17 i think this question gave him a small stroke 🤣😂🤣😂
The true dad came out when Jamie mentions "whip and nae nae" in 2020
great vid, usually come here for the laughs but that was the best parts of friendship with the helping and still giving him a good time. also... that was a great looking sponge
After so many years of watching Sorted I finally understand that the secret to Bloody Good Food! is Colour, Texture, Flavour, Aroma + Attention To Detail [+ seasoning]. Thank you boys.
