18:30-19:30, The digital dinner party
Join food historian and artist Tasha Marks for a unique taste of the Summer Showcase. Inspired by the work of three British Academy researchers, this cook-along and conversation is sure to be food for thought. The pairings start with a cocktail, influenced by Sue Miller’s work on Latin music, then Rachel Rich will join Tasha to discuss her research into royal menus over the main, a pie fit for a king. Finally, a dialogue over dessert, as we join Tasha in the kitchen to create an edible homage to Emma Bond’s research on the 19th century sugar industry. The event is free and you join with a Zoom link once you have registered for it here:https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/events/british-academy-virtual-summer-showcase/friday-programme/ – follow the links to the Digital Dinner Party.
