Mr. John Tufts will give a talk titled “The Renaissance Kitchen and Foodie Culture,” which will explore the production and consumption of food in Shakespeare’s society and plays. The variety of Renaissance foods and the customs surrounding them will be irresistible to the Portland community of chefs, artisans, and diners, who prepare and support cuisine that is as thoughtful as it is delicious.
John Tufts is author of Fat Rascals: Dining at Shakespeare’s Table and an award-winning actor. He has performed in 22 Shakespearean plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, he is an accomplished chef, and he has a YouTube cooking show titled Eatso-Facto.
