SUMMARY:We need to talk about : Consuming Recipes
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be talking recipes at this Kitchen Table Conversation\, their evolution\, how and where we find them\, and how we use them. \nOver the last hundred years we’ve gone from recipes in handwritten notes and printed cookbooks\, to recipes accompanied by photos of plated food in magazines\, newspapers\, and cookbooks. Recently recipes have moved online: these days we can find recipes not just with written instructions and photos but also with video\, on Instagram and TikTok. \nWhat does this mean for those who create recipes and for those who use them? \nConversationalists joining Naomi Duguid will be: \nLaura Brehaut @laurabrehaut is the National Post’s food reporter. She has certificates in culinary arts and as a professional cheesemonger from Toronto’s George Brown College\, a B.A. honours degree from Toronto Metropolitan University’s RTA School of Media\, and a B.A. in anthropology and linguistics from the University of Victoria. She is endlessly intrigued by what drives our food choices and preferences\, the technologies that may influence how we eat in the future\, and how to make food systems more equitable and sustainable. \nShayma Saadat @spicespoon is a food writer and digital content creator based in Toronto. Also known as Spice Spoon\, she creates recipes — using local ingredients and the flavours of her Pakistani\, Afghan and Persian heritage — which she shares on Instagram\, TikTok\, The Spice Spoon Substack and her website\, The Spice Spoon. \nAllie E.S. Wist @aeswist is a scholar-artist\, currently in the interdisciplinary Arts PhD program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She creates speculative sensory narratives related to environmental humanities\, food\, metabolism\, and Anthropocene studies. Her work includes edible and olfactory artifacts\, as well as photography and video\, which come together most often in multi-media installation works or performative dinners. She has an MA in Food Studies from New York University and a BA in Media from Boston University. She worked as a photo director and editor for media outlets in New York for over a decade\, including at Bon Appetit and Saveur magazine. Her work and workshops have been featured by Honolulu Biennial\, The Wellcome Collection\, MIT\, the Nobel Prize Museum\, and Pioneer Works. https://alliewist.com/ \n  \n \nThanks to WikiArt for the image  ‘Reciprocal Accords’ by Wassily Kandinsky\, 1942

SUMMARY:We need to talk about - the Gift of Food Writing.
DESCRIPTION:With holidays upon us\, it’s time to cosy in for a good read (or listen\, in the case of audiobooks)\, and we want to explore the ever-expanding world of book-length food writing.  The appetite for cookbooks\, food history\, culinary anthropology\, and related forms seems insatiable\, but what makes for the most interesting and enduring reads? \nWe’ll start our holiday conversation with cookbook authors and food writers\, booksellers\, food historians and then invite participants to share their holiday book lists to celebrate the season. Leading off will be… \nElisabeth Luard\, an author\, journalist and broadcaster who writes (mostly) about food and recipes in their historical\, geographical and social context. Elisabeth’s work as a cookery writer includes about fifteen cookbooks and  four memoirs with recipes. As a botanical artist she  continues to illustrate her own work and record her  travels with sketchbook and watercolours. \nEric Treuille has been passionate about food since he worked as a mitron (baby baker) in his uncle’s boulangerie in France. He has cooked professionally in Paris\, London\, and New York\, and is now director of Books for Cooks\, an internationally famous bookstore and cooking school in London. He is the author of Bread (with Ursula Ferrigno)\, Barbecue (with Birgit Erath)\, and Canapes (with Victoria Blashford-Snell). \nMatt Sartwell is the Managing Partner of Kitchen Arts & Letters\, an NYC bookstore specialized in food and drink which opened in 1983.  A former editor at Penguin USA\, he joined the bookstore in 1991. He has served as the chair of the James Beard Book Awards and as a member of the IACP’s Culinary Classics committee\, and advises authors on works in progress and under contemplation. \nKen Albala is the Tully Knowles Endowed Professor of History at the University of the Pacific and is a well-known voice in the field of food history. He has written or edited 27 books in the field of food studies and has been series editor of over 100 food books. \n

SUMMARY:Kitchen Lab Monday 11th Dec 23 - The Persian and Indian Culinary Connection.
DESCRIPTION:All tickets for Monday 11th Dec are now allocated. The next Kitchen Lab event is a KL Techniques session on 29th Jan\, hold the date\, more details to follow…\n\nA warm welcome to the Kitchen lab!\nWith my guest – hosts Dr. Nader Mehravari and Prof. Samar Khatiwala \nFor a Kitchen Lab on “the Persian and Indian Culinary Connection”  \nAs we dive into the impacts of Persian cuisine on Indian culinary practices\, Nader and Samar will share the similarities and commonalities between these cuisines. \nFrom Nadar: \n‘My all-time favorite Persian cookbook is  The Legendary Cuisine of Persia  by Margaret Shaida . Margaret was a native of the United Kingdom who lived in Iran for 23 years. Her 1992 cookbook “The Legendary Cuisine of Persia” was the first English-language Persian cookbook with extensive and accurate historical culinary information about Persian cuisine. Before passing a few years back\, she was a regular contributor to OFS. \nNaomi Duguid has a relevant cookbook titled: Taste of Persia: A Cook’s Travels Through Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, Georgia\, Iran\, and Kurdistan \nAnother link that might be of interest How to Stock a Persian Pantry .’ \nFrom Samar: \n‘In general I’d be very suspicious of a cookbook on ‘Indian’ cuisine (like a European might be about  ‘European’ cuisine). Anyway\, I’m afraid I don’t have a favorite Indian cookbook or even one that I consult regularly. (Plenty of patisserie and baking books though!) Cookbooks are not common in India (we had this discussion on the OFS site earlier in the year if you remember). \nThat said\, my first port of call is usually Tarla Dalal\, the most famous Indian cookbook writer  and who has dozens of book. And one book that I like a lot is Dal Kadhi by Sanjeev Kapoor \nThe best place to learn about Indian food is YouTube (the amount of invaluable information there is nothing short of astonishing)\, followed by Facebook and WhatsApp’. \nIt’s going to be a festive cultural cookalong with beautiful recipes –  so take out your aprons\, pots and pans and stay tuned for more info. \n

SUMMARY:We need to talk about - Teaching Children about Food in Schools and the Community: Lessons from International Experiments.
DESCRIPTION:‘Catch them young\,’ as the expression goes. To raise healthy kids\, we need to teach them about the diversity of foods\, and to encourage them to move  away from the obesogenic diets to which many are subjected and have become accustomed. Part of the challenge lies in  poverty of various kinds: finances\, culinary knowledge\, time for cooking\, or access to cooking facilities. Although these challenges seem daunting\, many pathbreaking school and community programs offer hope for ways in which children can learn about healthy\, delicious\, and affordable diets\, and can also engage with a variety of food cultures. \nAt this Kitchen Table we will be learning about and discussing three different initiatives: an American community project\, a Danish educator\, and a Japanese government initiative. Each of them has designed programs and activities to suit local cultural needs. We invite you to join this discussion. We also look forward to hearing from you about local programs you may be familiar with\, and any challenges that you have faced as agents\, actors\, educators and parents. \nJoining us will be – \nStephanie Assmann \nStephanie’s research interests focus on Japan as a consumer society between innovation and tradition. She is currently completing a monograph on the governmental food education (shokuiku) campaign\, which advocates education about regional food products. Further interests include gender equality in the workplace and Japan’s rural areas. Stephanie is co-editor of Japanese Food and Foodways. Past and Present (with Eric C. Rath\, University of Illinois Press\, 2010) and editor of Sustainability in Contemporary Rural Japan: Challenges and Opportunities (Routledge\, 2016). \nJacquelyn Chi is the Director of Program at the Charlie Cart Project\, where she designs and delivers programs that train\, support\, engage\, and activate local educators in schools\, libraries\, food banks\, and other community-based organizations to teach hands-on cooking and food education. Prior to the Charlie Cart Project\, she managed B2B events and advocacy initiatives in the U.S. and Canada at OpenTable\, the restaurant reservations management platform. She also served as director of programs and special projects for the thought leadership arm of The Culinary Institute of America (CIA)\, where she oversaw educational conferences\, retreats\, and initiatives centered around sustainability\, health and wellness\, world cuisines\, and innovation and technology across the food service spectrum. Jacquelyn earned her bachelor’s degree in Radio-Television-Film from Northwestern University\, and her master’s degree in International Communication from American University\, where she researched food as a tool of public diplomacy\, and the social construction of authenticity in foreign eating experiences. Jacquelyn’s eclectic career across the food world has at various times included stints as a photographer and videographer for a Turkish coffee truck diplomacy project; a social media manager for a start-up food company; and a barista in a chocolate factory. \nThe Charlie Cart Project (CCP)was founded in 2015 to make hands-on food education accessible to the next generation so that children and families have the knowledge and confidence to make healthy food choices for life. CCP provides schools and other community organizations with an all-in-one nutrition education platform\, centered on the Charlie Cart – a portable\, compact mobile kitchen\, fully equipped with tools and appliances – which makes hands-on cooking and nutrition education accessible in any learning environment. In less than a decade\, CCP has grown from 12 sites in one state to over 450 sites across 47 states. \nAlastair Robertson \nAlastair is an educator at Bernadotteskolen in Copenhagen\, with over 25 years of teaching experience in the Dansk Friskole system..  He often integrates food\, ingredients\, cooking\, and recipes into projects which he has conceived including – Magellan: the Spice Trade and Global Exploration\, Sustainable Foods for the Future\, Expedition Food for A Survival Trip\, The Mighty Mussel: Our Farm in Hellerup Harbour\, Garden to Table\, Taste in Space\, and recipes for English language teaching \nAs Coordinator of the International Department of Bernadotteskolen\, he leads on the The ‘P-workshops’. These Project-workshops are the soul of teaching at Bernadotteskolen\, where children from grade 0-9 work on projects through making and doing. The kitchen P-workshop thus becomes an important site to not only learn history\, maths\, physics and science but also life’s most important survival skill – making food

SUMMARY:We need to talk about Food and Migration: Finding Nourishment in Hardship
DESCRIPTION:Food security remains one of the ongoing challenges of people fleeing their homelands because of ethnic or religious persecution\, or war. Hunger is a constant and pressing issue. \nWhen people are forced to leave their own country for another\, what happens to their traditional culinary habits? How do habitants of refugee camps obtain food? What ingredients are available? Where and how do they prepare their meals?  More often\, they rely on humanitarian aid for their daily needs. Familiar dishes and culinary customs nourish\, provide solace\, and a taste of a faraway home. \nThe Zaatari Refugee camp opened in 2012 and now houses 80\,000 residents. The Calais Jungle housed almost 10\,000 people before its demolition in 2016. Migrants continue to camp in Calais and surrounding areas. \nAt our Kitchen Table\, we will have informed voices to discuss and explore these issues based on their hands on and personal experiences: Karen E Fisher\, Professor at the University of Washington\, field ethnographer at UNHCR Zaatari Camp in Jordan\, and author of the soon to be published Zaatari: Culinary Traditions of the World’s Largest Syrian Refugee Camp; Mohamed Shwamra\, project coordinator\, facilitator\, and resident in Zaatari Camp; and Janie Mac co-founder Refugee Community Kitchen \n  \nThe conversation will be moderated by Cameron Stauch \nDr. Karen E Fisher \nKaren Fisher is a Professor at the Information School\, University of Washington\, Seattle\, and Adjunct Professor at Abo Akademie University (FI) and Siegen University (DE). An embedded field researcher with UNHCR Jordan\, Karen has been learning from and working with the people of Zaatari Camp in northern Jordan since 2015. Karen helped establish the world’s first refugee-run\, camp-wide library system. She uses ethnography and participatory design methods to understand refugees’ culture\, expertise\, and skills. Her studies in Zaatari camp include how young people use mobiles and the internet\, which led to a project Empowering Syrian Girls through Culturally Sensitive Mobile Technology and Social Media using the Holy Quran and Syrian culture to co-design Internet safety tools in support of female entrepreneurship. Her current work\, Zaatari Camp Creations\, focuses on co-designing innovative\, niche market products that draw upon Syrian and Arab heritage in support refugee livelihoods. \nMohammed Shwamra \nMohammed Shwamra is the Project Manager and Translator for the forthcoming book with Karen\, “Zaatari: Culinary Traditions of the World’s Largest Syrian Refugee Camp” (Goose Lane Editions\, 2024). A graduate of Al Bayt University in Jordan\, Mohammed is from Syria and has lived in Zaatari Camp since 2013. Mohammed is also the Innovation and Business Manager for Zaatari Camp Creations (refugee-led enterprise) and is the Business Manager for the Givaudan Foundation-Made in Zaatari enterprise that creates handmade soap and candles made from locally sourced olive oil and beeswax. \nWith a focus on conflict resolution\, peace\, and refugee rights\, Mohammed collaborates with the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wurzburg-Schweinfurt (DE) and other universities in the EU and Australia. His mother\, Umm Mohamed\, is Zaatari Camp’s best cook. \nJanie Mac \nJanie Mac is one of the co-founders of the Refugee Community Kitchen and current head of the RCK UK operations. In 2015\, RCK sprung into action to serve meals to displaced people in northern France\, in Calais and Dunkirk. The following year\, in 2016 their UK operation started to feed homeless people in London and Edinburgh. In 2016\, RCK received a European Diversity award as the Community Project of the Year. RCK was winner of Observer Food Monthly’s 2019 Outstanding Achievement Award.

SUMMARY:Wiki Club Meeting Oct 2023 How To Get Involved In The Wiki World
DESCRIPTION:OFS Wikipedia Project Welcomes All To It’s 3rd Year \nWe are delighted to invite\, or invite back\, all those in the OFS community to participate in the Symposium’s monthly wiki-club. Together\, we are improving the content and raising the profile of food-related articles on Wikipedia.  \nIn the inaugural 2021-2022 year\, we learned about the mechanics of editing\, from resources to images\, from the lead to the end matter. In 2022-23 we touched on these aspects again\, but with more time for questions and live editing.  \nThis year we will again cycle through these areas\, developing our skills with an emphasis on collaborating on-wiki. We are proud to cater to beginners and experienced alike\, using Zoom’s break-out rooms. The hour-long sessions will continue to be led by expert Wiki trainer and friend of OFS Roberta Wedge with host Polly Russell and tech support Anke Klitzing.  \nYou are welcome to join us\, just once\, or each first Tuesday of the month\, so we can continue to develop our community committed to building up the food content on the world’s largest encyclopedia and its sister projects.  \nThe first session (“How to get involved”) will take place on October 3rd\, 17.00 (London time/BST) for an hour\, in the form of a Zoom meeting.  \nAdmission is free\, but for technical reasons we need you to register – and as always\, financial help is more than welcome. \nIf you are completely new to the idea of contributing to Wikipedia\, or want a recap of the basics\, please watch the video Roberta prepared for the 2020 Symposium (the link is in the reading list). \n

SUMMARY:Getting Reading\, Getting Set. . . For Food Rules and Rituals!
DESCRIPTION:All set for July! As is our custom\, the last Kitchen Table Conversation of the season will be an opportunity to look forward to what’s in store at the 2023 Symposium and beyond\, though also to reflect on where we have been. It’s THE opportunity to find out more about what has been planned for the Weekend at St Catherine’s College and the Online Conference. \nOur trustees will be giving us tasters\, amuse bouches\, lagniappes of the Weekend and Conference. It will be the perfect opportunity to get a feel for the unique gathering and to meet others to share and inspire conversation. \nWe also want to make sure that all ticket holders log in to the website and update their profile. Doing this sooner rather than later puts less pressure on our IT system. The Online area of the website reserved to the 2023 Symposium will be launched during the event\, and you’ll then be able to read the paper drafts and see the full programme. \nAnd finally\, there is space in the Blackwell’s OFS online bookshop for titles relating to this year’s topic\, Food Rules and Rituals! If you haven’t already  submitted some suggestions\, noting that they don’t have you be your own\, then please do by clicking here. \nThis joyous gathering will be moderated by David Matchett.

SUMMARY:Wiki Club Meeting June 2023 Top and Side of the Page
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite\, or invite back\, the OFS community to participate in the Symposium’s monthly Wiki Club.

Each Wikipedia article has a shadow side\, less visible but still public: the talk page and the page history. The left-hand column gives ways to connect with Wikipedia editors worldwide: current events\, community portal\, learn to edit\, and so on. We will whiz through several of these options\, with live editing as usual.  \nQuestions very welcome! \nWe hope to cater to beginners and experienced alike\, using Zoom’s break-out rooms.

SUMMARY:We need to talk about...The Culinary Worlds of 18th Century Women in Britain\, USA & Türkiye
DESCRIPTION:Meeting\, Exceeding and Defying Expectations: The Culinary Worlds of 18th Century Women in Britain\, USA & Türkiye \nJoin historians from Britain\, the USA and Türkiye as explore the culinary worlds of women in the long 18th Century. \nFor middle class women in Britain\, the USA & Türkiye the 18th century saw an increase in literacy\, social mobility and involvement in public life. In some instances\, women’s responsibility for food and cooking\, provided them with opportunities to generate income through publishing and commerce\, while others were able to exert power in the private sphere by adopting new culinary fashions. Bringing together three experts from the USA\, Türkiye and Britain\, this panel discussion will explore the role of culinary culture in shaping and enabling middle-class women’s lives during the long 18th Century. \nThis event is a collaboration between the OFS and the British Library Food Season\, and we are happy and honoured to welcome Özge Samancı\, Neil Buttery and Megan Elias at our Kitchen Table.
