Dear fellow list members,
I'm doing research on Canadian food culture and am interested to know who might be doing
similar or related work in Ireland. I'm currently exploring the relationship between food incentives
such as cookbooks, advice columns, government pamphlets and advertisements, etc., and the
actual adoption and appropriation of these in the home since the second half of the twentieth
century. I'm also curious about the implementation of new foods in the Postwar era, and on how
domestic design and architecture adapted and influenced eating practices in the family. It would
be fascinating to know if anyone is studying these or similar aspects of Irish culture, especially
given what seems to me to be a significant food renaissance in Ireland over the past decade or so.
I'd also appreciate hearing about any archival material that seems potentially rich in this area.
Many thanks,
Rhona Richman Kenneally
