Olly's favourite episode of 2024 unfolds on September 23rd, 1387: the day of the most extravagant feast of the Middle Ages, featuring dishes like broth, venison, roasted swan, and boar-heads… and 12,000 eggs. It took place at the London home of the Bishop of Durham, and was given in honour of King Richard II. Just 20 years old, Richard had already developed a reputation for extravagant tastes, employing 2,000 cooks to feed his court. But, despite the abundant and luxurious menu, the atmosphere at the feast was likely solemn, given the churchy setting and the era's rigid rules of etiquette. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the cooks roasted birds in increasingly extravagant styles, yet served spices NEAT; discover how to make a "subtlety"; and dip into the rulebook for the carvers trained in the fine art of slicing and presenting food fit for a King… Further Reading: • ‘King Richard's Feast Of 1387' (OAKDEN): https://oakden.co.uk/king-richard-second-feast-1387/ • 'Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery' (1990): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Oxford_Symposium_on_Food_Cookery_1990/XseXnb98h90C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=23rd+September+1387&pg=PA138&printsec=frontcover • ‘How To Prepare A Traditional Medieval Feast | Let's Cook History' (Chronicle, 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkqQ5iGATrk Love the show?

Bret Keisling is joined again by Campbell McDonald, chief executive of Ownership at Work [www.ownershipatwork.org/], a UK-based charitable think tank, and a research fellow at the Rutgers Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing. They discuss the interplay between employee ownership and company “best practices;” the international growth of employee ownership; and Campbell gives a shout out to the Oxford Symposium on Employee Ownership, and the work performed by Graeme Nuttal in growing EO internationally. They also discuss board of director differences between EO and non-EO companies, and how many EO boards need to get better equipped on addressing business challenges of their companies.

Venizelos'un Churchill'le buluşması, menüde "İmam bayıldı" olması, Girit usulü beslenme ve uluslararası diplomasi... Aylin Öney Tan'la #acıtatlımayhoş Giritlilik deyince akla ilk gelen ot olsa da önce konumuz bir sebze olacak. Andrew Dalby'nin Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery 2008 sempozyumunda yaptığı konuşmanın başlığı patlıcan üzerineydi. Başlık şöyleydi: “Patlıcan Hakkında Konuştuk; Uluslararası Diplomasi ve Girit usulü Beslenme”. Adı bile eğlence olan konuşma gerçekten çok ilginçti. Dalby, Venizelos'un 1912'de İngiltere'nin desteğini almak için Londra'ya yaptığı ziyaret ve patlıcanın bu ziyaretteki rolünü anlatıyor. Uluslararası diplomasi trafiğinde Venizelos Churchill'le tanışır, İngiliz desteğini alır, bu arada şerefine Piccadilly meydanındaki Criterion'da şerefine bir yemek verilir ve büfedeki en çarpıcı yemek İmam Bayıldı olur. O yemeğin başında sonra eşi olacak Helena Schilizzi ile tanışır. Eşi anılarında bu tanışma anını kısaca şöyle anlatır: “Patlıcan hakkında konuştuk!”

In this episode I talked with Aaron Bobick the host of Appalachian Folklore Podcast and Stories from the Cabin, a storytelling podcast within a podcast and we talked all things food, folklore and story. Aaron is a brewer-turned-distiller by day. His undergraduate and graduate studies were in literature, bibliography, and textual editing where he gained a love for research; for finding the history of any given topic that interests him. His research into UK folklore is what started his fascination with the history of Appalachian folklore: how the folk practices still seen today through various regions of Appalachia can be traced back to much older practices throughout Europe, and the world. The podcast takes a researched-based, academic-adjacent, look at the world of Appalachian folklore while making it approachable to all listeners. You can find the podcast by following the link above or wherever you get your podcasts and his most recent episode explores one of the topics we discussed in much more detail: Ramp Harvesting, Festival Traditions, and Sustainability. The links I mentioned in the episode: The Cornish Pasty in Northern Michigan by William G Lockwood and Yvonne R Lockwood - Food in Motion, The Migration of Foodstuffs and Cookery Techniques – Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery 1983 Orange Chips - Vittles Article about Chippy Traditions Fried Chicken - This is the Guardian article that I mentioned by Melissa Thompson where she discusses Fried Chicken and racism (my apologies to Melissa as I referenced Korean Fried Chicken in the episode but I should have said karaage from Japan) . Her new book, Motherland, is fabulous and is packed with excellent, mouth-watering recipes. Interview with Robbie Armstrong - How Food Frames Stories Green Bean Casserole - This is the book chapter Aaron references.

My guest for today is Shayma Saadat, an internationally published food writer, food photographer, teacher and public speaker. Shayma specializes in Silk Road Cuisine, her chosen name for a style of cooking that incorporates her Afghan, Pakistani, and Persian heritage. Just this past July, Shayma presented a paper at The Oxford Symposium on Food titled “Food Reimagined: Diasporic Identity and Authenticity” Her paper discusses the role of food in nostalgia and also - super interestingly to me - the concept of “authenticity”, especially in Eastern cuisines, and why that can be a problematic and limiting word used to label foods. While Shayma is a scholar, a writer, and an academic, she is also a truly wonderful guest who talks about this topic of authenticity, food, and nostalgia from a very deeply personal perspective. I can't wait for you to hear this episode - and to try Shayma's truly perfect Chana Masala with just one secret surprised ingredient inspired by her own travels and memories. Listen Now to Shayma Saadat, Presenter at The Oxford Symposium for Food Highlights of "I'm Confused! Isn't 'Authentic' a GOOD Thing?" What is the diaspora? Food as identity for members of the diaspora 3 points to her paper - 1) food, nostalgia, identity and 2) ?? 6:50 3) how those in the diaspora are re-imagining and Is authenticity and inauthenticity in food a false binary? is there grey area? Why is it harmful to label Eastern food as authentic or inauthentic? Who is it doing the labeling? The constant push and pull between old and new generations, the static and the dynamic How to approach changing a recipe from another culture Traditional vs. authentic "Made in Pakistan, assembled abroad" Shayma's path from A Pakistani and Persian heritage then her path Pakistan to Washington DC to Nigeria, Kenya, Pakistan, UK, Massachusetts, Rome to Canada A love story that brought Shayma's great-great-grandfather from Iran to Pakistan, and how Shayma learned this story The similarities and differences between Afghani, Pakistani, Punjabi, and Persian foods Rice as The Queen of Dishes Cooking, authenticity, legacies, and the cycle of life "I don't have a sweet tooth; I have a carb tooth" :-) Using the water in the cans with the beans The sentimental reason Shayma uses Aleppo pepper in her Chana Masala How did Shayma build a career in food while working as an Economist and become a full-time member of the food community Why being a food blogger is Shayma's biggest honor "We don't always want to talk about the trauma and loss.

On Practice: Cooking asks how cooking can bring people together and provide nourishment and care? What are the ways that cooking together can open up difficult conversations - about racism, colonialism and migration? This episode highlights artist Jasleen Kaur's collaboration with women from the Portman Early Childhood Centre through the Changing Play project Everyday Resistance, and includes Yogyakarta based artist and researcher Elia Nurvista's reflections on food and power, and researcher and cook Fozia Ismail speaking about food as resistance. On Practice is produced by Reduced Listening. Image Credit: Joy Yamusangie. Show Notes Over the last year through the pandemic, we've seen more than ever how our individual actions impact others, how we're all interdependent. This three-part podcast series explores the practices that can sustain us individually and collectively – Cooking, Listening and Walking - and how they can be used to bring people together to work towards change. Hosts Amal Khalaf and Alex Thorp welcome artists, collaborators and friends to explore ideas and projects developed as part of Serpentine's Education and Civic programme, which connect communities, artists and activists to generate responses to pressing social issues. These are projects that have been developed in collaboration with people, centred on the body, the city, and exploring the injustices we experience in our everyday life. Hear from Jasleen Kaur, Elia Nurvista, Fozia Ismail, Ain Bailey, Micro Rainbow, Portman Early Childhood Centre, Ultra-red, Ximena Alarcón, Sam Curtis, Tim Ingold, Voice of Domestic Workers and Katouche Goll. Each of the three episodes are accompanied by an exercise, kindly shared by the artists, an invitation to join their practice. Jasleen Kaur was born in Glasgow and is now based in London. Her work is an ongoing exploration into the malleability of culture and the layering of social histories within the material and immaterial things that surround us. Her practice examines diasporic identity and hierarchies of history, both colonial and personal. She works with sculpture, video and writing. Recent and forthcoming presentations include exhibitions and projects at the Wellcome Collection, UP Projects, Glasgow Women's Library, Market Gallery, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Eastside Projects and Hollybush Gardens. Her work is part of the permanent collections of the Government Art Collection, Touchstones Rochdale and the Crafts Council. https://youtu.be/1j5XreNGtYk?t=1644 https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/everyday-resistance/ Instagram: @_jasleen.kaur_ Fozia Ismail, scholar, cook and founder of Arawelo Eats, a platform for exploring politics, identity and colonialism through East African food. Ismail is a researcher writing about race and British identity and has spoken at the Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery, designed workshops with Keep It Complex, Jerwood Project Space and the Museum of London using food as a method to think through issues around race and empire in Britain today. Fozia is also part of Dhaquan Collective, a feminist art collective of Somali women, centering the voices of womxn and elders in the community, and privileging co-creation and collaboration. She was a City Fellow for the Arnolfini, Bristol in 2019.

Food in various forms — from the planting of crops, to the act of eating and the sharing of recipes — are Nurvista's entry point to exploring issues of economics, labour, politics, culture and gender. Her practice is also concerned with the intersection between food and commodities, and their relationship to colonialism, economic and political power, and status. She runs Bakudapan, a food study group that undertakes community and research projects, and her social research forms the background of her individual projects, presented through mixed media installations, food workshops and group discussion.

In this episode, celebrated food writer Bee Wilson joins Catherine Cleary, journalist and food writer with The Irish Times, to discuss our evolving relationship with food and the way we live (and eat) now. Bee Wilson is a journalist and historian and the author of five books on food-related subjects, the most recent being The Way We Eat Now: Strategies for Eating in a World of Change (2019). She has been described by Jane Kramer of the New Yorker as having “the kind of narrative charm that could carry large chunks of scholarship; weave them together; sprinkle them with asides, experiences, suppositions, and strong opinions; and entertain you.” Bee Wilson is chair of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery. This First Thought Talk was recorded in front of a live audience at NUI Galway as part of Galway International Arts Festival's Autumn 2019 First Thought Talks programme https://www.giaf.ie/talks/food-the-vital-frontier

Dan Saladino and food historian Polly Russell share stories of seeds as told at this year's Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery. From the link between amaranth and cannibalism to edible acorns. Founded in 1981 the Symposium takes a theme and invites scientists, anthropologists, historians, cooks and food enthusiasts to deliver papers and share experiences on the topic. This year they chose one of the biggest subjects possible, seeds. Using the Oxford Botanic Garden's "Plants That Changed The World" display as their backdrop, Dan and Polly have selected six speakers to provide insight into the past, present and future of seeds, from politics to pleasure and from culture to cooking. Professor Simon Hiscock, Director of The Oxford Botanic Garden, starts of by explaining what a seed is and when they first appeared in earth history. Over millions of years biodiversity has meant we've so far identified 400,000 different plants. Elinor Breman of Kew's Millennium Seed Bank explains why a team of seed hunters have been travelling to the most remote parts of the world in search of seeds. As Elinor explains, a fifth of these seeds are at risk of becoming extinct and need to be stored safely for the future. All seeds have a story to tell and one of the most intriguing (and disturbing) is told by food historian David Sutton, "Amaranth: Food of the Gods, or Seed of the Devil?". Meanwhile Steve Jones of the Washington Bread Lab describes his efforts to bring deliciousness back to wheat. Produced by Dan Saladino. Presented by Dan Saladino & Polly Russell.

German cuisine is often thought of as brats and not much else. Ursula Heinzelmann is here to change that perception and she’s this week’s guest on A Taste of the Past. Ursula is an acclaimed German food and wine writer, a sommelière and a gastronome. She’s written numerous books on the subject of German cuisine and has twice been awarded the annual Sophie Coe Prize in Food History at the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery, most recently in 2006. Her latest book is called Beyond Bratwurst: A History of Food in Germany. Tune in to this program to get an in depth look at the culture, cuisine and traditions of Germany. This program was sponsored by Bonnie Plants. “If I had to define German food – it would be diversity, always.” [14:00] “Food is all about meeting people, getting to know their food and sharing it.” [30:00] –Ursula Heinzelmann
Say you wanted to bake bread in a microwave – I can’t think why, but say you did – you could go online and search the internets for a recipe. And you would come up with a few. Just reading them over, they didn’t seem all that appetising. One, for example, warned that you had to serve the bread toasted. What’s the point of that? Anyway, that didn’t deter Ken Albala, a professor at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, but rather than search the internet, he turned to ancient Egypt for inspiration. In thinking about ways in which the material culture of food might change in the future, for the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery, he came up with not only the plate that keeps crispy things crunchy, but also a way to bake bread in a microwave. Not great bread, but acceptable bread. Why? Well, partly because it is hot where Ken lives, and he doesn’t like putting the oven on just to bake bread. And partly because he foresees a future in which space is at a premium, cooking, maybe, is deskilled, and ovens, where they exist, are used for storing stuff, not baking. Turns out, though, that there’s method to Ken’s madness. I’d always thought that microwaves heat water molecules and that’s that. Apparently not, as I learned from Len Fisher at Bristol University. Apparently some ceramics absorb microwaves and others don’t, and if you have a ceramic that absorbs microwaves, watch out. It can get very hot. Hot enough to turn bread dough to toast in less than 7 minutes. Len admitted that he didn’t fully understand the physics of different ceramics in the microwave, which means there’s no chance for me and you. But he did think he’d invented something along the lines of Ken’s bread mould. Turns out someone had already patented it, although as far as I can tell the patent has lapsed and nobody ever did anything with it. Or did they? If you’re aware of a container designed to bake bread in the microwave, please leave a comment. Notes Ken Albala blogs and has an interesting Facebook page. Len Fisher also has a website, and it is well worth exploring. Intro music by Dan-O at DanoSongs.com.
Bling, the Urban Dictionary tells me, is an onomatopoeic representation of light bouncing off a diamond. Or a Bob Kramer original hand-made chef’s knife, which goes for $2000 and up. Of course some people might be able to justify spending that kind of cash on what is, after all, one of the key tools of the trade … if your trade happens to be cooking. But my guest today, Peter Hertzmann, says he sees lots of knives, maybe not quite that expensive, hanging on the wall in people’s kitchens, unused. “Kitchen knives”, he told this year’s Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery, are “the new bling”. Peter teaches knife skills, has written extensively on the topic, and one of the things he is adamant about is that you never chop, you slice. Even if you’re pretty handy with a blade, you can probably learn a thing or two from his video Three Aspects of Knife Skills. I know I did. Notes You can actually get a set of four Bob Kramer knives, plus a steel to ruin them with, for less than $2000. Intro music by Dan-O at DanoSongs.com. Outro music by Martin Simpson. And if I ever knew, I’d forgotten that the song was written by Cat Stevens.
This week we dive into the thick and viscous world of viili yogurt. If you haven’t tried this heirloom yogurt then you are in for a treat. We cover the flavor, texture, origins, and cultural background of this prized heirloom yogurt from Finland. And speaking of slimy ferments, we also talk about natto! Branden is still undecided if his first batch of natto turned out as it was supposed to or if it over-fermented. We also cover a couple of news stories regarding fermented cow dung and chocolate. Yum! Show notes: [Our microbiota likes chocolate too Gut Microbiota Worldwatch](http://www.gutmicrobiotawatch.org/our-microbiota-likes-chocolate-too/) Another reason chocolate may be good for you. This time the studies focus on flavanols and how they may be prebiotic to the bacteria in your gut. This is regarding dark chocolate. Sorry to all of you milk chocolate lovers. [Fermented cow dung air freshener wins two students top science prize TreeHugger](http://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-agriculture/cow-dung-air-freshener-dwi-nailul-izzah-rintya-aprianti-miki.html) Two Indonesian high school students win a gold medal at the Science Project Olympiad for their fermented cow dung air freshener. [Stretch That Yogurt - How to Make Viili At Home FermUp](http://fermup.com/blog/how-to-make-viili-at-home/) [Milk: Beyond the Dairy: Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cooking 1999 Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1903018064/fermup-20) Good book that covers the 1999 Oxford Symposium on Food and Cooking which focused on many different fermented milks including viili. [The History of Fermented Soymilk and Its Products Soy Info Center](http://www.soyinfocenter.com/HSS/fermented_soymilk.php) This is from an unpublished manuscript. Yes, it does focus on soymilk, but it also covers a lot on dairy viili. [Microbiology and Biochemistry of Cheese and Fermented Milk Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0751403466/fermup-20) This book is a little older but is still a good reference for the science behind cheese and fermented dairy. [Image of Finnish viili cupboard Viili Culture Blog](http://viiliculture.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/viili-cupboard/) As far as we understand, these cupboards use to be common in Finnish homes. Not so much today as many people purchase their yogurt commercially. [Nickelodeon Gak 1990s Commercial YouTube](http://youtu.be/_iDALjY4QnY) Does anyone remember this stuff? [Almond Yogurt Recipe Indian Healthy Recipes](http://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/2013/02/almond-yogurt-recipe.html) Danijela liked this almond puree yogurt but Branden wasn’t enthusiastic about the chalky consistency.
