Would you like to become a Museum Foodie? Our Foodie Group meet monthly to discuss, cook and eat food together. Our dishes and recipes are inspired by stories from our collection, artists and events we programme, as well as our own members’ heritage 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 invite you to join us for a special, Shavuot edition of our Foodie Group workshop. Beginning on the 25th May, Shavuot is the two-day festival that commemorates G-d giving the Torah to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai over 3000 years ago.
In celebration it is customary for Jewish people to eat sweet and dairy foods such as Rugelach (filled baked pastries). So join us as we play around with different sweet and dairy fillings and bake our own Rugelach together. You will get to go home with some delicious sweet treats!
