Critical Food Studies Movie Night: Holiday Food Traditions and Ratatouille
Celebrate the end of term and get festive with the Oxford Critical Food Studies Network! We will be getting together to watch Pixar’s iconic food movie, Ratatouille, which covers important themes of cooking as a universal experience, rural vs urban food tastes, the commercialisation of the restaurant and food critic industries, nostalgia, and what happens when you combine a piece of strawberry with a piece of cheese.

Before we sit down to watch the movie, we’ll be testing out its central premise ‘Anyone Can Cook’ with some festive food decorating and a cosy chat about holiday food traditions.
