Two Events I Wish I Could Go To

Innovation at the Table

Just in time for the conference hosted by The Food History Committee of the International Association of Culinary Professionals on September 28-30 on the subject of Innovation at the Table. The symposium will take place at the Hagley Museum and Library (www.Hagley.org) and at the University of Delaware Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management (www.hrim.udel.edu). Lots of good speakers, including Darra Goldstein, editor of Gastronomica: The Journal of Food and Culture; Roger Horowitz, author of Putting Meat on the American Table: Taste, Technology, Transformation; Bruce Kraig, Ph.D., professor emeritus in history and humanities at Roosevelt University, and IACP’s 2007 Scholar-In-Residence; and Andrew Smith, editor of the Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink, and chair of The Culinary Trust, will be joined by food scientist Todd Menacker, designer Laurene Boym, and food venture capitalist Adam Borden, Fred DiMicco, chair of University of Delaware’s Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management, and Donald Sloan, head of the Department of Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism Management at Oxford Brookes University. Mr. Sloan is in the process of launching a new international center for food drink and culture in Oxford, England, where both gastronomic history and innovation will be major themes.

Nice to see such a range of disciplines.
