Lunch-conference "At the table of modernity"

In the 20th century, food shifted into modernity. We will retrace the major mutations that profoundly transform our relationship with food, such as food security, the acceleration of production and consumption rhythms, as well as the globalization of products and cuisines. From post-war abundance to exoticism that has become daily, from food standards to fast food, a new food landscape is emerging, made of promises, contradictions, and legacies. Because understanding modernity at the table also means questioning what we eat today and why. This story will be told to you by food historian Pierre Leclercq and the historical meal will be prepared by chef Alex Van Kalck. *** MENU *** Artichoke cream with hazelnut *** Snail puff pastry, garlic cream with vegetables *** Red duck curry *** Strawberries with Singapour Réservation: The meal-conference (soup-starter-main course-dessert, excluding drinks): €50.
