Bringing together locals, who were not born in Australia to share special dishes from home and the stories and memories behind each dish. Then sharing those dishes at a community dinner series, together with portrait photography, written stories and films about each cook’s memories and experiences. The diners welcome the dishes into their local cuisine by the empathy arising from a proper understanding of each cook’s background. The project is low waste and works with local providers to maximise use of produce that would otherwise go to waste. Clients from the local homeless charity are invited to each dinner. The community attending the dinners are encouraged to sit with new people and share properly enriching conversation.
