Heather Hess

Teaches at Brooklyn Brainery

Heather Hess is an art historian specializing in the aesthetics of dining and banqueting since the Renaissance. What started as an interest in eighteenth-century porcelain (i.e., those adorably cute—or some might, wrongly!, say tacky—Meissen figurines) led to bizarre world of decorative meat carving. (Despite that, she doesn’t eat beef or pork. It’s always open season on ducks, though.) She has lectured widely on the history of meat, most recently at the ‘Food in History’ conference in London and at the Museum of Modern Art.
