Description
As food historian Marcie Cohen Ferris argues, the story of food is a “many-layered narrative of place, taste and memory.” Dr. Joel Overall and Professor Sue Trout will explore how food and the traditions associated with home cooking impact personal, familial and cultural identity. Whether food is scarce or plentiful, cooking and eating are social acts inextricably bound to memory, nostalgia and communion. Please join us for this scholarly, personal and interactive session on how food both creates and evokes a sense of home.
