Food and Drink Run [ August 2025 ]

Europeana is celebrating the theme of Food & Drink this year through editorials and creative events. Europeana Transcribe offers you a chance to discover a diverse range of ingredients and recipes throughout history, some of which may inspire you this summer.

In this special Run we’ve selected a number of recipes and menus to transcribe, enrich and describe.

Find out more about Food And Drink on Europeana.

On the occasion of Food And Drink activities at Europeana, editorials, such as Fairytale food, The history of Les Halles food market in Paris, Celebrity food stories  and The history of the croissant highlight the diverse ways food and drink marks our lives from our childhood to what we associate with certain places. 

Europeana will also be hosting a Food and Fairytale writing workshop on 6 August. The annual GIF IT UP challenge throughout October will have a special category on food.
