Sensory Connections at Elizabeth Farm

Step into the aromatic world of Australia’s colonial kitchens and discover a surprising culinary twist. 

Spices once lit up the tables of the early 1800s elite, bringing bold flavours to the homes of the well-to-do.

Join Dr Jacqui Newling, curator at Museums of History NSW, and Bhavna Kalra Shivalkar of The Modern Desi, one of Australia’s leading experts in culinary herbs and spices, for a hands-on workshop that blends history, culture and flavour.
 

At the historic Elizabeth Farm in Parramatta, you will:

• Craft your own garam masala blend using traditional ingredients
• Explore the rich history of spices in Australia’s food story
• Learn how migration has shaped the way we cook and season today
