DIALOGUES Food Need, Enjoyment, Communication Or Art
On Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) organized the seventh event of the SNF’s monthly series, DIALOGUES, titled “Food: need, enjoyment, communication or art?” at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.
Food connoisseurs and experts of Greek and international gastronomic culture and tradition utilized every “ingredient” available, in an enticing discussion on food, its preparation, consumption and enjoyment.
The starting point for the discussion was the relationship between gastronomy and culture, as well as the influence of international elements on the traditions of Greek cuisine. Chef Diane Kochilas noted that “cooking is like language; something that evolves, accepts and embraces other things; has an identity,” and also discussed the position of food as a reference point within the Greek family, and an important means of communication among its members.
