What does food, and in particular, bread, activate for us in our experience of placemaking?
In today’s episode I interview Laura Lazzaroni, author, food expert and bread consultant.
Laura is Italian, lived in New York and returned to Italy after five years there.
She is the author of several books, like “The New Cucina Italiana” edited by Rizzoli in English, and “La formula del pane” edited by Giunti, in Italian. She recently curated together with professor Massimo Montanari the exhibition “Gusto. Gli Italiani a Tavola. Italians around the table” at M9 Museum in Venice, which they describe as “a big home, made of many rooms that tell the story of Italian Gusto capturing the spirit of a nation through its relationship with food and conviviality.
In our interview we explore how food is one of the main ways to read our surroundings to build and re-build a sense of place; how bread is a non-binary product made of “multitudes”; and the lessons we can learn from wheat about the migrant experience of displacement.
