A detailed timeline of the key moments defining the Food Design discipline.

The timeline answers:

• How was the Food Design discipline born?
• When was the term first used?
• Who were the first food designers?
• What have been the most important events that have defined the development of this discipline?

This timeline is the result of a thorough research to define how the term Food Design was born, and therefore how the discipline came to be. When it comes to pinpoint the very beginning of the discipline there are many information given on the web, most of them copied and pasted from the same sources, often erroneous, sometimes misleading. A thorough research through web archives shows, once and for all, where the term was born, and who was there!

This downloadable resource shows (with clickable links to webpages) the sequence of international events and efforts that have helped conceptualize, develop and spread the discipline. It includes the first events, books, conferences, awards and documentary.
