Forgotten Delights: Rediscovering Baking Recipes From the Past
Course Overview
Rediscovering Baking Recipes From the Past!
In this hands-on workshop we will bring to life original Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW recipes, published in 1930, from their collection of ‘calendar’ recipe leaflets covering a recipe for each day of the year.
We will explore the history of community and personal cookbooks by delving into a rich treasure chest of recipes for the past. This workshop focuses on teaching you how to cook with your senses, not relying on the detailed instructions of many present-day recipes.
In this workshop, you will:
- Decipher and interpret recipes from the past
- Revisit forgotten delights and honor the women who created them
- Bake the perfect chocolate cake
- Create a never-fail pastry for an old‑fashioned fruit tart
- Prepare a reliable cinnamon biscuit dough
- Share a cup of tea and celebrate the timeless joy of exchanging recipes
What to bring
- An Apron
- Container to take home samples
- Wear covered shoes
