For the past five years, caterer and archaeologist Kurush Dalal has been bringing together both his professions to talk about the archaeology of food. This has led to Archeobroma, a conference on food culture organised by the India Study Centre (INSTUCEN) Trust and the Centre for Extra-Mural Studies (CEMS) of the University of Mumbai. The event will be held over two days and look at food vis-a-vis history, archaeology and sociology.
