Food and Memory

Have you ever wanted to record your family recipes and food stories? Do you like to play with words and ideas?

Join food writer Barbara Sweeney and Museums of History NSW curator Dr Jacqui Newling for a special exploration of food and memory in the atmospheric kitchen at Vaucluse House. Inspired by family stories and culinary collection items from our most cherished historic houses – including Vaucluse House, Susannah Place and Rose Seidler House – this immersive program invites you to explore your food heritage and family recipes.

Barbara Sweeney is an accomplished teacher, and her food writing workshops are both playful and challenging. She believes we all have a story to tell and is highly skilled at guiding people through their hesitations and procrastination to write freely and joyously.

Finish the workshop with a shared sweet treat and a cup of tea.
