Culinary Historians of San Diego will present The Strangest Cooking Methods in the World, featuring Richard Foss via a Zoom webinar. Foss will explain how previous generations prepared their meals when fuel wasn?t available, and how they improvised when a source of free heat presented itself. People have cooked using heat from volcanoes, hot springs, automobile engines, laundry appliances, weapons and other ingenious methods. This is a light-hearted history of culinary innovation from prehistory to the present day. Richard Foss has been writing professionally since 1986, when he started reviewing restaurants for the Los Angeles Reader newspaper. Since then he has contributed to over thirty different publications, including the Encyclopedia of World Food Cultures and Oxford Companion to Sweets. He taught ?500 Years of American Food? and ?American Fermented? at Osher Institute/UCLA Extension, and is on the board of the Culinary Historians of Southern California.
