Heritage talks: Queensland tastes

Our latest Heritage talks event serves up a slice of Queensland’s culinary history, as we consider the multicultural influence on our palate.  

Beyond Queensland’s insatiable love of pineapple and proud claim to the iconic lamington, our culinary heritage tells a deeper story: one of migration and multicultural diversity. 

Join speakers Dr Toni Risson, Dr Aaron Teo, and Dr Eun-ji Amy Kim in conversation with Jenny Woodward, as they explore how our distinctly Queensland taste connects us to the past, shapes who we are today, and invites us to savour the stories, memories, and cultures that feed us all.

In addition, enjoy a drop-in collection experience in the Marica Sourris and James C. Sourris AM White Gloves Room during the following times: 

  • 9.45–10.15 am 

  • 11.45 am – 12.15 pm
