Stay-at-home online learning - reading & videos

Many food history virtual lectures, learning sessions, historic cooking demos, exhibits and books are being offered free for the quarantine.  THREE symposiums will be online.  Most, including the Oxford Symposium Proceedings and videos of Culinary Historians of Southern California speakers, will continue to be freely available. I am adding other links as I find them, and if you know of any, please send contact form, on right.  ENJOY!
