Foodcamp Cilento: The wrap up!
It's been really quiet around these shores, but with no places available for the past months I did not want to make people overly jealous by telling them about all the awesome food related bits that South Italy has to offer. Now the time to make people overly jealous has finally come.
Foodcamp Cilento has been an incredible experience and a lot of people have great stories to tell, here's a list of blog posts, I will add to this over time:

It is quite hard to sum the whole thing up, especially from my perspective: How can I possibly pass judgment on something I organised? However, there's a great deal to be said about the people who took part: Extremely passionate cooks, writers, photographers, geeks, actors, hunters and eaters who easily spanned 25 years in age differences, lots more when it came to wealth or perceived status.
Of course we were all middle class, whom would I be kidding by pretending otherwise, but Foodcamp Cilento reflected a wide cross section of society, all standing around a fireplace rolling pasta. I mingled with people whom I normally wouldn't meet and had discussions on topics that normally don't come up. When all has been said about the great hospitality of the Cilento in general and especially Hotel Antonietta and their staff, the experience of bringing people together round a table will stay with me and do that warm fuzzy thing that's slightly kitsch.
