Edible Alphabet at the library is a free series of classes that teaches English through cooking. Language learning through cooking began at the Culinary Literacy Center of the Free Library of Philadelphia, in 2016. Since transitioning to Zoom, participants from all over are welcome, space permitting.

Origins

Pre-pandemic, students cooked and ate and talked together in the Central Branch’s commercial-size demonstration kitchen. Classes were also held in four neighborhood libraries. Covid caused the meetings to pivot to virtual gatherings in May 2020.  During months of social isolation, it became even more important to promote community and connection. The program is a valuable opportunity for many newcomers to practice and maintain language skills.

]]> Anna Davies is Professor of Geography, Environment and Society at Trinity College Dublin where she directs the Environmental Governance Research Group and is on the steering committee for the Trinity Centre for Future Cities. Her research project, SHARECITY, is mapping a big rise in Internet-enabled initiatives to share more food, or re-cycle food waste, across the globe. From shared kitchens to underground gardens to dumpster diving, her group has collated data on more than 4,000 initiatives around the world, and put them into a searchable database that launched publicly in September 2017. With the database, she is literally putting food sharing on the map. SHARECITY is funded by the European Research Council.  The author’s interview with Professor Davies follows.
