NZ Food History Society in
conjunction with the Australian Symposium of Gastronomy
‘FERMENT’
the evolution, science, practice and philosophy of modern gastronomy to be held at :
Prefab, 14 Jessie Street Wellington, New Zealand
Saturday 29th November to Monday, December 1st
‘ferment’ is a joint meeting of the New Zealand Food
History Society and
the Australian Symposium of Gastronomy. It aims to
bring together scholars, cooks, food writers and armchair foodies to discuss
ideas in modern gastronomy - evolution, science, practice and philosophy. The possibilities
for presentation and discussion encompass the full breadth of 21st century
gastronomy, from economics, sustainability, organics and globalisation to
indigenous foods, foraging, fermentation, fadism and, of course, the future.
Given that Wellington is both coffee and craft beer capital of New
Zealand, presentations on these topics are particularly welcomed as would ideas
and insights from young cooks working at the forefront of modern
gastronomy.
