COURSE DESCRIPTION: Explore the myths, legends and fables of your favorite foods. Food has seeped into our consciousness at a very early age — through folktales, parables, fables, rhymes and bedtime stories. People have been inventing myths about food for about as long as they’ve been preparing meals. Common culinary folklore can range from relatively sensible cautionary tales to far more inventive notions—and they can be mysterious, comical, intriguing, and always, delicious. Every taste has a tale; every ingredient a story. Join me as I explore these food fables and share a few of my own. Bring your sense of wonder as we discover the ‘Once Upon a Time’ Foods from around the world.
