Food Culture: Seasonality and care

Watch Later Cinema Mode

The interview with Licia Granello examines the Mediterranean Diet as a cultural  and anthropological phenomenon. Food is presented as a marker of identity, a  symbolic device, and a tool for social connection. Special attention is given to  conviviality, food memory, the transmission of traditions, seasonality and the  healing power of good food. The reflection is focused also on the contemporary  transformation of the concept of food.
