In this two part lecture from 2012, Kristina Lupp and Inga Paenurm will take us through various topics on Estonian food culture. The study of food has become an increasingly important area when exploring national identity. More and more nations pride themselves on dishes or ingredients typical of their country. The lectures discuss the changes in Estonian cuisine over the century, and shed light on how it is continually evolving.

The first part is in English, second in Estonian.

At the time, Inga Paenurm was the executive chef to the President of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves. We invited her to cook for our very first VEMU fundraising dinner that April. The pictures of the fundraising dinner can be found here: [ Ссылка ]
