An IFAJ congress in food and drink
Last month, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the International Federation of Agriculture Journalists (IFAJ) annual congress, which took place in Belgium and Luxembourg.
Much to my satisfaction – as one who really loves to eat – food and drink played a key role in this gathering of those who write about food and farming. Not only did we enjoy consuming it, we were also quite keen to take photos of what was placed before us, as you can see here:

Here are some of the lovely dishes and drinks we experienced:







Note: My participation in IFAJ 2010 was partially supported by the IFAJ Alltech Young Leaders Award.

A book about chocolate and travel…what a wonderful combination of two of my absolute favourite things!!! I’d love to hear more when your book is done.
Doreen Pendgracs says:
I love Belgium, too, and would have loved to have joined you on this trip but just couldn’t swing it.
We were there last fall and ate chocolate until it was coming out of our ears. (All in the name of research. I am writing a book about chocolate and travel.)
