Aflevering Cookbook Author Claudia Roden On Changing Tastes In Europe

What we eat, we become. Cook book author and cultural anthropologist Claudia Roden was one of the first to popularise middle eastern food into the European mainstream kitchen. With her new way of food story telling she tried to introduce Europeans, with their very conservative European taste, to new cultures and cuisines. A lot has changed since then. Program editor Simon de Leeuw talks to her about growing up in Egypt in a Jewish-Syrian family, moving to the UK and how food is a way to hold onto your cultural identity and at the same time can bring different cultures togetherThis episode is a part of a podcast miniseries produced in the rup up to the Forum on European Culture Festival.
