Come and enjoy this experiential panel discussion featuring two incredible women, both passionate about food; Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo OAM, a highly respected Gamilaroi Elder, chef, educator, mentor and community leader. An expert in First Nations bush foods, Aunty Beryl has shared her knowledge with chefs from around the world. 

AND Lisa Goldberg - the 'chief pot stirrer' and co-founder of the Monday Morning Cooking Club, co-writing five cookbooks that celebrate food, family and community. In 2023 she produced and hosted Walking Up an Appetite, a YouTube series eating, walking and talking her way across Sydney.

The morning includes some tasting and sensory experiences of indigenous ingredients and Jewish cooking.

Limited spots.

EXTRA SURPRISES: There will be giveaways and surprises to celebrate the power of coming together in a safe space for women to gather, inspire and support each other. 

PLUS the wonderful folks from Gertrude and Alice booksellers will also be joining us so you can buy some amazing cookbooks for yourself and just in time for end of year gifts.

This event is in partnership with Mama Creatives.

Aunty Beryl was recently honoured with a National Gallery portrait, which also honours her work in education and leadership in Sydney's Redfern community.
