About This Event

The RELISH Recipe Book Club convenes at University College Cork on Saturday 15 August at midday, inviting attendees to bring along a treasured family heirloom or handwritten recipe book. Leading this interactive workshop is food historian and EU Horizon researcher Regina Sexton, who will guide participants in exploring the intimate and historical narratives woven into handwritten recipes. The session is free and open to all with an interest in food heritage, whether a casual cook or a devoted collector. A range of contributors from the local food community are expected to join, offering their perspectives on how these cherished documents mirror evolving tastes and enduring traditions. Through shared stories and close examination, the gathering promises to uncover the rich personal histories and cultural shifts preserved within these faded pages and scribbled notes.
