22.01.2022 Beautiful evening at Brentwood Cooking from home dinner last night. Thanks to Brentwood Village Town Team and City of Melville for the opportunity to share with the community more beautiful, sentimental and traditional dishes and the stories behind them

22.01.2022 Meet the fabulous home cooks from our Cooking from home project in Brentwood. Here's Lay. I was born in Kuantan, a tiny Malaysian coastal town. I come from a big family that loves to gather together, especially during the festive seasons. In Malaysia there are three ethnic groups, Chinese, Malay and Indians. We’d gather regardless of whose festival it was. Family and friends each cook their specialty dish for each other on those days. My dad extended an outdoor kitchen espec...Continue reading

13.01.2022 Meet the amazing home cooks from our beautiful Cooking from home project in Brentwood. Here's Lina. I was born and raised in Beirut. My mum did most of the cooking and would have been satisfied with whatever was in the fridge some cheese, tomato, olives and olive oil. But my father was very demanding in terms of food so it was the norm to have two dishes for every main meal; one completely vegetarian and one that had meat. I always tried to help my mum in the kitchen....Continue reading

13.01.2022 Meet the fantastic home cooks from our Cooking from home project in Brentwood. Here's Vasant. I was born in Chennai, South India, and grew up in Bhopal, a small city in central India. My family consisted of my mum, dad, and older brother. My mum used to do all the shopping and cooking for the family. None of us helped her in the cooking apart from getting an item from the shops which she had forgotten to buy. I don’t even remember making myself one cup of tea! My dad, brother...Continue reading

11.01.2022 So pleased to have been involved in this beautiful project with the powerhouse Theatre 180 and Legacy WA. The stories were some of the most compelling we've come across yet.

11.01.2022 'Thank you so much - today was some of the best theatre I have seen in my life. Just words, movement and the way it was portrayed brought out every emotion of human life. After, I just sat and cried.' A message from a storyteller who attended our Theatre 180 Legacy WA show this weekend.

10.01.2022 The intro to our beautiful home cooks at the Brentwood community dinner

10.01.2022 Meet the beautiful home cooks from our Cooking from home project in Brentwood. Here's Elisa. I’m from Monterrey in Mexico. All of the kids in the area would gather together in the evening and walk down to la tiendita, the ‘little shop’, a house that had in the front a little convenience store. There were no stores like IGA. We’d buy lollies, chicklets and chips, and spongey cake covered in chocolate (a bit like a lamington) called ‘gansitos’ or ‘little goose’, and then walk ...Continue reading

02.01.2022 Can't wait for tomorrow's event as part of our Cooking from home project!

01.01.2022 Meet the fantastic home cooks from our Cooking from home project in Brentwood. Here's Felicity. I was born in Cape Town and grew up in North Bondi, Sydney. I have Lithuanian and Estonian ancestry and a grandfather from Russia. My neighbourhood was fantastic. Bondi Beach was shabby, but we had a good relationship with our neighbours. My best friend Judy, born in Paris, lived across the road. Her parents were Holocaust survivors. The elderly couple that lived next door, they we...Continue reading
