maltatoday | SUNDAY • 31 OCTOBER 2021 8 CULTURE Taste History kicks off its second season of short documentaries TASTE History, Heritage Mal- ta's gastronomic arm, has launched its second season of short documentaries featuring historical recipes and beverages, following the resounding suc- cess of the previous one. The first episode of the sec- ond 'Taste Now, Visit Later' series is a re-enactment of a three-day adventure at sea and on land embarked upon by six priests from Qormi in August 1760. This six-minute docu- mentary, entitled 'To Sail and Make Merry', also recreates a wild rabbit stew recipe taken from an English recipe book of 1747. It will be streamed live on Heritage Malta's Facebook page on Friday 5th November at 7pm. In the second episode, Taste History's team of curators, food historians, and chefs shed light on the various cereals that were ground to produce differ- ent flours at Ta' Kola Windmill in Gozo. Wheat and barley, for instance, were combined to- gether to create il-ħobża tal- maħlut (mixed bread). Featur- ing a commentary by Daphne Sant Caruana, Principal Cu- rator of this unique relic of breadmaking in Gozo, the Ta' Kola documentary will also recreate and provide the recipe for this traditional bread. Named 'Malta never refused wheat', after the old Maltese proverb Malta qatt ma rruftat qamħ, the second episode will be streamed live on Heritage Malta's Facebook page on Fri- day 10th December at 7pm. Both episodes are in Maltese, with English subtitles.
