Welcome to Bites & Bytes: A Culinary Chronicle—where food is never just food. Here, every dish has a backstory, every ingredient has traveled, traded, colonized, liberated, or evolved, and every recipe carries a little economic and cultural intrigue tucked between the salt and the heat. I’m Chef HistorEats—part chef, part historian, part nutritionist, and full-time believer that what we eat shapes who we are.
But this table is bigger than one chair.
Joining me are a few brilliant collaborators: Ollie Thorne, our resident tech mind who explores how innovation, data, and smart devices are reshaping the way we grow, brew, and cook; Elle Thyme, the “Flavor Philosopher,” who unearths the artistic, anthropological, and cultural poetry behind what’s on the plate; and Seb Greenfield, photographer and sustainability advocate, who reminds us that good food should tread lightly on the earth while still dazzling the senses.
Together, we explore the intersections of history, technology, art, sustainability, and flavor—sometimes in solo deep dives, sometimes in spirited collaborations. Expect rich storytelling, unapologetically delicious recipes, thoughtful insight, and the occasional self-deprecating kitchen confession.
Pull up a chair. There’s always something simmering here.
Join the fun!
