No she wasn’t there that year but she did come to the Univ of Adelaide as a guest speaker last year to speak to the current gastronomy students about the new food studies program at NYU. We introduced ourselves and told her what we wrote for our dissertations and etc…She was nice but didn’t get to spend enough time with her. One of the nicest people I met at the Symposium was Claudia Roden – have you read her Jewish food cookbook? Amazing.
