I visited Kate and Julia’s websites to learn about food in Jesus’s time. I loved that Kate’s website included actual recipes that were similar to what Jesus would have eaten. Kate also stated that the first meal mentioned in the Bible is the feast that Abraham held for the angels, which I thought was an interesting fact. To improve Kate’s website I would have suggested using paragraphs instead of bullets in order to better unify like information and separate the facts that did not go together. On Julia’s website I really liked how easy to read the information was; everything was stated neatly one page and was easy to look at. I learned that honeycomb was not only used as a sweetener, but also as a medicine. The only thing that would have made the site better is some pictures.

With the intention of being educated about the common foods during the time of Jesus, I read the websites created by Kate Benware and Julia Germain. The fascinating recipes present on Kate’s website were exceptional sources of information that one would not typically expect to come across on a website describing ancient Palestinian and Roman foods. Julia’s website contained a multitude of intriguing facts to captivate the reader. Viewing Kate’s website taught me how to cook, among other things, an Ancient Roman Lucanian Sausage. Julia’s website brought me the knowledge of how wine and a drink composed of lotus jujube and date juice were popular drinks during the time of Jesus. Although both websites were expertly constructed, they both still retain some room for improvement. For instance, the information on Kate’s website could have been organized to a greater degree in order to group similar pieces of information together (perhaps under separate headings). Likewise, the inclusion of pictures and additional information describing certain unfamiliar substances (lotus jujube) would be an excellent way to enhance Julia’s website.

To learn about Roman foods I visited Julia’s and Kate’s websites. Kate’s website was very organized and colorful, plus had a lot of good information. Julia’s website was very easy to follow with its level of organization. The most common food during Roman times was bread and fish. Meat was considered to be a luxury during the Roman times. Julia’s website could have been a little more colorful. Kate’s could maybe have a few more pictures.

At Kate’s website I found all the information I needed about food. The first element of her website that stood out was how her colors complimented each other making for a very good visual. I learned from her website that water was stored in large jars or containers made of goatskin. I also learned that Jewish people ate with their hands from flattened metal cups which came as a big surprise. One improvement that could be made is to maybe add a few more pictures on the food page, but other than that Kate’s website was flawless. To even more about food I visited Julia Germain’s website. I really liked how she went for an Old Western twist on the text and background, very clever move by doing that. Her website taught me that meat during Jesus’ time was a luxury and only eaten on holidays, which seem like a bit of a bummer. I also was informed that the deserts back then were very bland and it doesn’t seem like they were as good as they are now. One thing about Julia’s website is that I would try to add a little more information about her topic. Her website was stunning overall and very informative.

To learn more about the food people ate in the time of Jesus, I viewed the websites created by Kate and Julia. I thought it was great that Kate included recipes for some of the meals. Julia's website was very organized, making it easy to follow. I was informed that Jesus only ate meat on special occasions. I found it interesting that camels, rabbits, and pigs were considered "unclean" and were never eaten. I think it would be a good idea for Kate to include a picture for each of the recipes so that you know what the finished product will look like. Julia could add some pictures to make her website more colorful and captivating.

To learn about the food eaten at the time of Jesus, I viewed the websites of Kate and Julia. Kate’s site was organized very well in that everything was easily accessible and the colors were really nice. I learned from viewing the site that the breaking of bread symbolized unity and friendship. I also learned that the staple diet included bread/porridge and meat/fish. Perhaps adding a few more pictures could improve Kate’s website. Julia’s site was nicely displayed and I liked how the information was all in one place. Upon viewing the site I learned that dates were common in the Middle East, and the juice was a popular beverage. Another fact is that honeycomb was used as medicine as well was for desserts on special occasions. One thing that could be done to improve the site is to fix a few spelling errors.

To learn more about the cuisine in the time of Christ, I visited Kate’s and Julia’s websites. I really enjoyed the artistic flair showcased by Kate’s website. Also, I loved the ease of information access in Julia’s website. From Kate’s website, I learned that to ancient Jewish people, the sharing of a meal was a sacred thing, and that most people ate very little meat, which was considered a luxury. Also, from Julia’s website, I learned that pigs, camels, and rabbits were considered "unclean" by the laws of Jewish Tradition, and that honeycomb was used as a medicine, as well as a dessert on special occasions. Kate’s website was very informative, but she could’ve used a little more information in her “Food in Daily Life” section. Julia’s website was very descriptive, but she could’ve made it a little bit larger.

To learn about food that was served in Jesus's time, I visited both Kate's and Julia G's websites and was fascinated by what I saw. I loved the colorful and flamboyant styling of Kate's site and was very intrigued to learn o the symbolism of food in the bible as it is always talked about when something important is happening, and also that there was a recipe that mixed honey and vinegar, a very odd combination. One suggestion I do have is that she change the colors of her page tabs, as they were a bit hard to read. I was also very impressed by Julia's site, and the authentic styling with the wooden background, as well as the wealth of information compacted into a small space. I was very fascinated to learn that bread was the most common food back then, and that there was a drink made of lotus and date juice. One recommendation I do have for the site is to adjust the coloring of the text boxes to make them blend a bit more with the overall styling.
