Renowned food author\, Christina Loucas\, will be our guide through this gastronomic adventure\, sharing insights into the vibrant and diverse cuisine of Cyprus. This promises to be a night of culinary delights and cultural exploration that you won’t want to miss!  \nLecture: Writing A Traditional Cypriot Cookbook: A Study of Cypriot Culture through a Culinary Lens\nThe process of writing a cookbook is different for each author. In Christina Loucas’ case\,  a Cypriot who grew up in Canada\, she set out to preserve her family’s traditional Cypriot recipes by living in Cyprus for 4 years and accumulating recipes. In doing so\, she inadvertently came to understand that the idea of a “traditional recipe” was much more than just a list of ingredients and method.  In her lecture\, Christina talks about her personal journey of writing and photographing her cookbook\, the definition of  a “traditional Cypriot recipe”\,  and the relationship between Cypriot culture and culinary traditions.  She does so alongside a visual showcase of photographs and a delicious Cypriot dinner meant to highlight these talking points. \nAuthor/Speaker Bio:\nChristina Loucas was raised on Vancouver Island\, Canada by Greek-Cypriot parents. She worked for six years as an international arbitration lawyer in London\, Singapore and Canada after a law degree from Oxford University. Following a sudden illness\, she decided to change her life\, move to Cyprus\, and to follow her passion for food and photography. With her now very successful blog (www.afroditeskitchen.com)\, she brings to the attention of the international public all the beauty and ingredients of her Cyprus. She published her first cookbook called “Cyprus Cuisine” in 2021. \nCookbook Summary:\nCyprus Cuisine is a colorful and thorough account of Cypriot cooking. Christina invites the reader into a Cypriot kitchen with traditional and modern recipes\, which are easy to follow and accessible. It is sure to delight anyone with a taste for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours. The book also details the journey of a woman who decides to change her life following a sudden illness to pursue her passion for food and photography. \nCheck out her recipe for sweet tahini pies (tahinopites) from Cyprus in our Winter 2024 newsletter (pgs. 24-25). \nThis event is being held under the auspices of the Deputy Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Cyprus\, the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in the United States and the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Cyprus in Los Angeles.  This program is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).

SUMMARY:“Who Invented the ‘Modern Greeks’ and Why?” Lecture by Anthony Kaldellis
DESCRIPTION:Who Invented the Modern Greeks\, and Why? \nLecture by Anthony Kaldellis\, Professor\, University of Chicago \nTuesday\, March 12\, 2024\n5:00 p.m.\n247 Dodd Hall \nReception to follow \nNo RSVP required \nThis event will not be livestreamed or recorded. \nIn the case of no other people is the distinction between “ancient” and “modern” more symbolically potent and seemingly clear-cut than with the Greeks. Their antiquity is an internationally recognized prestige culture\, and their modernity was born full of promise for the future\, as one of the first nations to emancipate itself from imperial domination. But\, this lecture will show\, the distinction arose long before the nineteenth century\, in a context that is now forgotten. Who first began to speak of the “modern” Greeks\, and why? The answer will take us to the Middle Ages and to the polemics that divided Christendom and set the stage for modern Europe. \nAnthony Kaldellis is a Professor of Classics at the University of Chicago who specializes in the history\, culture\, and literature of the eastern Roman Empire\, also known as Byzantium. He has published translations of many Byzantine works as well as monographs on aspects of its culture and politics\, and recently wrote a 1\,000-page history of Byzantium entitled The New Roman Empire (Oxford University Press\, 2023). \nThe event is part of the Reception of Hellenic Culture Lecture Series\, co-organized by the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture and the UCLA Department of Classics. \nThis program is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nParking Information: \n\nParking for Dodd Hall is available in Parking Structure 2 located at 602 Charles E. Young Drive\, East Los Angeles\, CA 90095.
