Hidden Recipes from My Ancestral Home Tasting Event

Heritage Open Days 2021

This September, Reading’s heritage will be on show for 10 days as part of England’s annual heritage festival, Heritage Open Days. Celebrating our buildings, natural and cultural heritage, this year there will be a fantastic range of free in-person and digital events to showcase the rich stories that make Reading such a unique place to live, work and visit.

===============================

In her project 'Hidden Recipes From My Ancestral Home’, local artist Caroline Streatfield encourages you to shop local and explore the vast array of food shops along Reading's Oxford Road where you can purchase ingredients to cook fantastic dishes from around the world.

With "Edible England" being the theme for this year's Heritage Open Days, it was obvious she had to get involved. So join Caroline for a special recipe-tasting session and pick up a recipe card or two... or ten!

You can also enjoy a tour of The Pavilion, which used to be and still is a cinema and has the fixings from 1929.
