Food Cultures Network

Connecting people studying food media & food culture with news, events, announcements, CFPs etc. Let us know if you’re organising something. Website to follow!

[Food Cultures Network @FoodCultures]

Because food people work across so many disciplines, it’s difficult to know what is happening where. So send us your CFPs, event announcements etc and we’ll try to connect people. We are @hollojk @KeepCalmFannyOn @DrElaineSwan1 @Piped82 @karenawilkes

If you've been waiting for an academic podcast (frankly, who hasn't been) on early television food & cooking programmes in Europe, then @QMUniversity have you covered! I really enjoyed this chat with Donald Reid & @AnaTominc, hope you will too! https://t.co/Isvsshegfb

Today was an absolute blast. Good food & drink, fascinating research from experts across the sector, fascinating conversations, and a level of enthusiasm in the room that I'd like to bottle. Great fun, and an honour to run. I love my job! Cheers!

Really looking forward to this event next week. We have a brilliant range of speakers, and it's amazing to be joined by @P14Murray who will address why we need to do better with food in Scotland.

The Book of Ices from Agnes B. Marshall. One I've been after for ages.

Just out in this week's Country Life is an article I wrote on the tradition of making soul cakes for All Soul's Day. I really enjoyed writing this one. To access it, go to my media page (link below) and scroll down the 2023 section till you find it.

Wrote a fun piece on historical Halloween traditions, and romance! An alternative to dating apps for this weekend, perhaps? 🎃

Anchovy ice cream? Sign me up!🍦

I had a great time writing this piece for @ConversationUK about historical ice cream, leisure, and food in heritage properties. Whether the flavours are tantalising, or best left in the past, is up to you...
