Current Programme

 

The 2009 Oxford Symposium, Food and Language, took place at St Catz on 11-13 September 2009. A report about the weekend and photos will be posted shortly.

 

Please note that the 2010 Symposium, Cured, Fermented and Smoked Foods, will be held 9—11 July at St. Catherine’s College.

 

The programme is already shaping up into an exciting array of voices and flavours. Ivan Day, Sidney Mintz and Harold McGee will be plenary speakers. Jeremy Lee of the Blueprint Café has promised to cook up a Friday night dinner that will be a veritable Feast of Cockaigne. Fuchsia Dunlop is helping to organize a Chinese banquet on Saturday night. Stay tuned for further updates.

 

Prospective authors should note that a 500-1000 word proposal should be submitted by 15 February. Please download and read both the "Call to Papers" and the Guidelines for Authors (link in right sidebar).

 

Registration is now open. Because of sky-rocketing demand for places, we strongly urge people to register early. Places will be allocated on a strictly first come, first serve basis.
