I have to admit, I googled the event, not knowing about it until now, and found so many topics I would have loved to hear in person. I'm so glad you're sharing all of it with this :)
"You have to believe in something more than just following the steps of a recipe. You have to believe that food can transcend a moment, like you’re in a time machine."

That symposium sounds fantastic! I've been participating in my city's annual bookstore crawl (a month-long event for local indie bookshops) and I was so pleased to find a copy of M.F.K. Fisher's "How to Cook a Wolf" at a new-to-me shop this past weekend, which somehow feels particularly timely.
Indeed, I love how he captured that. And I love the image of the recipes as a time machine. I also think of these collections like time capsules--so many nuggets of memory and connection tucked in there, physical reminders of time past.

The speakers and topics were all outstanding, it was such a great couple of days. Happy to share some highlights here!
I’m happy to read them all :)
