Borough Talks: food and travel (S3 E2)

Food offers a unique insight into community and culture. One of the joys of international travel is discovering a region through its food – not just for the pleasure of eating like a local, but for what doing that tells you about people, place and time. After a year of little if any travel for leisure (and perhaps more travel uncertainty ahead too), our panel will be discussing how the discovery of the foods of a nation impacts our cultural understanding of it – and in turn, how increasing or decreasing international tourism can impact a region’s culinary landscape. Chair Angela Clutton – food historian, writer and host of the hugely successful Borough Market Cookbook Club – will be joined by panelists Russell Norman, who fell in love with Venice through its food and has spent years using the food of that city to communicate a greater understanding of its history and culture; and Yasmin Khan, whose recently published Ripe Figs is typical of her immersive work in food and travel.
