How can food art—collaborative or individual—show what is both special and ordinary about food, domestic labour, and systemic relationships? Susan Goldberg gives her thoughts on the subject as she discusses her art piece, “Milk & Bread” from Volume 12, Issue 1 of Canadian Food Studies. During the Amuse Bouche segment, Alexia Moyer talks with host David Szanto about the parallels between gender and in different types of cutlery and tableware. And in the After Taste, Caylie Warkentin responds to Susan’s piece with her own take on where material practice can take us as food thinkers and doers.
