Because food people work across so many disciplines, it’s difficult to know what is happening where. So send us your CFPs, event announcements etc and we’ll try to connect people. We are @hollojk @KeepCalmFannyOn @DrElaineSwan1 @Piped82 @karenawilkes

Today was an absolute blast. Good food & drink, fascinating research from experts across the sector, fascinating conversations, and a level of enthusiasm in the room that I'd like to bottle. Great fun, and an honour to run. I love my job! Cheers!
@CailleachHerbar @UofGArtsHums @roslyn_earlymod @murielsnark @UofGSocSci @MaconStStudio Delicious local food and drink samples were enjoyed throughout the day alongside some wonderful, important discussion. All in all a great success. Cheers!

Really looking forward to this event next week. We have a brilliant range of speakers, and it's amazing to be joined by @P14Murray who will address why we need to do better with food in Scotland.
Looking forward to speaking on 'The Case for Scotland: Place and Provenance Economy' at Paisley Food Heritage Symposium 12 April organized by @lindsmiddleton. The place of food in cultural heritage is still inconsistent in Scotland @JoanMcAlpine - https://t.co/Yep2iOx5Ts

The finds continue! The Book of Ices from Agnes B. Marshall. One I've been after for ages. I love the beautiful illustrations and her many ads for her own products. The Elizabeth Raffald of the 19th century.

Wrote a fun piece on historical Halloween traditions, and romance! An alternative to dating apps for this weekend, perhaps? 🎃 'Halloween foods from history reveal the holiday's surprising romantic side – and you can try them yourself' https://t.co/CEF0FvaSjx via @ConversationUK

Food was tied into multiple Halloween traditions that had love trouble at their core.

The publicity for my new book has been preempted by my pal Marty. Hear it from him! 😆Available to pre-order from Amazon now. Out with @penswordbooks just in time for Christmas!
The lovely @MuseumofKitchen has penned another book (Im amazed she finds the time) on two icons of Victorian cookery, recreating some of their iconic recipes & look at how Beeton and Marshall lived and worked throughout two very different halves of Victorian British society

Anchovy ice cream? Sign me up!🍦 I had a great time writing this piece for @ConversationUK about historical ice cream, leisure, and food in heritage properties. Whether the flavours are tantalising, or best left in the past, is up to you... https://t.co/neWpTvootu

Chicken pâté was mixed with gravy, gelatine and whipped cream, before being frozen in decorative cups.

Humble turnips have a history, too - as Serin Quinn of @WarwickHistory demonstrates in 'The Conversation': https://t.co/BGUkQqZGhA
@WarwickFoodGRP @FoodandHistory1 @FoodCultures

Thérèse Coffey’s recent suggestion that Brits eat turnips instead of tomatoes during food shortages was mocked – but the turnip hasn’t always been so unpopular, as a food historian explains.
