Max Miller

Max Miller (born March 30, 1983) is an American YouTuber and cook known for being the creator and host of Tasting History, a culinary and history fusion web-show that recreates ancient or historical recipes and explains the history around them. Early life Miller was born on March 30, 1983, in Phoenix, Arizona. He had an interest in history, and at six or seven, he started reading about Charles Cornwallis at the Siege of Yorktown that ended the American Revolutionary War in 1781, writing a report on it for fun. He attended Arizona State University and earned a classical music degree, moving to New York City to train for Broadway theatre. Career Miller moved from New York City to Los Angeles to pursue voice acting. He was hired at Walt Disney Studios in marketing before going into film distribution. In 2015, Miller and a friend went to Walt Disney World while on vacation, but the friend fell ill. As a result, they spent most of the time in a hotel, and the friend introduced Miller to The Great British Bake Off. Miller was not previously interested in cooking and had little experience, but was inspired by the show and its blend of history and baking. He then began cooking on his own, first baking a Battenberg cake.
