Time.news – It’s true, there is nothing more new than what is already published. He seems to have been inspired by this philosophy B. Dylan Hollis, 27, who has become a star with 9 million followers who is very popular on TikTok with his “vintage cuisine”, drawn from cookbooks and talismans dating back to the 20th century, after having collected 340 titles of different culinary genres in the book markets. With stove and oven he doesn’t invent anything but reproduces, in his own way. And he tells the recipes live between jokes and grimaces.
If during the pandemic people threw themselves into making bread by cultivating sourdough, he threw himself on Depression-era Mock Apple Pies (1929) e 60s style spaghetti and on recipes inspired by “periods marked by shortages, war and processed food,” explains the Washington Post, which describes Hollis thus: “He had never seriously cooked before the pandemic. Born and raised in Bermuda, Hollis moved in 2014 to attend college in Laramie, Wyoming, where he studied 1940s big band jazz and drove a classic 1963 Cadillac.
But “at the beginning of the pandemic, started posting funny shorts on TikTok about Wyoming and jazz, mainly to avoid boredom” until “he discovered his first vintage recipes and was struck by them” while cooking a bread the way it was cooked in 1932 “with all the shortage of ingredients that characterized that historical moment”. Even if his results are not guaranteed, the newspaper says. An original type.
Whether it’s pork pie or peanut butter bread, her recipes always end up with a big question mark. But finally, when it’s time to taste the bread, his ever-skeptical face relaxes into a satisfied smile and exclaims, “That’s why I cook.” Between heartburn and nostalgic pleasures, more often his fans agree with him.
