Gastronomic Symposiums

Jacks and Jaggers
The Leeds Symposium on Food History and Traditions has been announced for 17 May 2014 at Friends Meeting House, Friargate, York, UK. The subject is kitchen technology from 1600 to the second world war - hence the Jacks and Jaggers title. For more information check out their website www.leedsfoodsymposium.org.uk

Food and Markets
Apart from examining historical, sociological and practical aspects of food markets this symposium will not forget the pleasures of marketing: the excitement of discovering new ingredients; watching the skills of market cooks preparing to order and the sheer enjoyment to be found in the peace, charm and sunshine of wandering around an open-air market. Details of the 11 to 13 July 2014 symposium to be held at St Catherine's College, Oxford, UK can be found online at www.oxfordsymposium.org.uk
