What can a plate of food reveal about a nation's soul? How do the ingredients, rituals, and evolution of a cuisine reflect deeper stories of history, identity, and belonging? In this rich and thoughtful discussion, join Zevan, a German university professor with a deep passion for culture, as we explore the relationship between food and identity in Germany. From sauerkraut to schnitzel, pretzels to potato salads, every dish has a backstory, and every flavor carries the weight of tradition, innovation, and sometimes even conflict.
Together, we’ll examine how regional differences, political history, and cultural shifts have shaped the German table, and what these dishes say about the people who eat them. Whether you're a foodie, a cultural explorer, or simply curious, this is an inclusive and intelligent space to deepen your understanding of Germany and its people, through the lens of what’s cooked, shared, and celebrated around the dinner table.
