About me

Gender Female
Location Greece
Introduction Having a background in Archaeology and Sociology and passion for experimental archaeology and historic and contemporary foodways, I specialize in the Greek food history and sociology of eating habits. A believer in sharing knowledge, I am recreator of historical banquets (Edible history project) and developer of food events (Edible Narratives: Food as symbol, as metaphor and allegory).I am the author of two books: the "Language of Taste" A dictionary of Greek Gastronomy(Gourmand Awards, Winner Greece,Food literature category)and the "Adventure of food in Greece" (under publ.) I am currently at work on "Fear cuisine: The impact of food crisis and financial crisis on the cooking in Greece". Ι am also a food columnist for VIMAgourmet and the founder and co-organizer of the biennial Symposia of Greek Gastronomy. Here, I indulge my obsession for all aspects of Greek food and drink (www.greekgastronomy.wordpress.com). And I have lots of cookbooks and food related books... so it is not suprising that I blog at History of Greek Food (www.historyofgreekfood.org)
