Food writer Bee Wilson joins Catherine Cleary of The Irish Times to discuss our evolving relationship with food in this First Thought Talk Food: The Vital Frontier?.
Bee Wilson is a journalist and historian and the author of five books on food-related subjects, the most recent being First Bite: How We Learn to Eat (2016), and The Way We Eat Now: Strategies for Eating in a World of Change (2019). She has been described by Jane Kramer of the New Yorker as having “the kind of narrative charm that could carry large chunks of scholarship; weave them together; sprinkle them with asides, experiences, suppositions, and strong opinions; and entertain you.”
Wilson is chair of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery.
