Would you like to become a Museum Foodie?

Our Foodie Group meet monthly to discuss, cook and eat food inspired by stories from our collection, artists and events we programme, as well as our own members heritage’s and backgrounds. Our workshops are informal, chatty and a chance to meet new people, as well as learn about new recipes and cooking traditions.

This month we’ll be anticipating the festive season and shortest day of the year with sweet treats to bring light to the winter months. We’ll also be looking at Jewish people’s role in the history of chocolate.

Come and learn how to make fruit and nut Florentines, marzipan and chocolate truffles. Perfect for gift ideas, parties and celebrations.

So join us to get creative and cook something new together. No experience necessary, just come along!
