Redlands Coast Museum invites the community to share their recipes and preserve local heritage through its new cookbook project.
The Redlands Coast Museum is calling on the community to stir up their favourite family recipes, heart-warming stories, and treasured food traditions as part of its latest fundraising campaign, Our Redlands Table: A Community Cookbook.
This unique initiative invites residents to purchase a page in the cookbook for a $150 donation, with all proceeds supporting the preservation and promotion of local history through the museum’s exhibitions, programs, and conservation efforts.
Each page will showcase a home-cooked recipe submitted by donors, alongside a story, photo, or family anecdote that brings the dish to life. From cherished Sunday roasts to handwritten biscuit recipes passed down through generations, Our Redlands Table is set to become a deliciously rich snapshot of Redlands’ cultural heritage.
“This campaign is about more than just food – it’s about preserving our stories and celebrating the diverse flavours and histories that make Redlands unique,” said Belinda Hayes, manager of Redlands Coast Museum.
“We’re inviting every household to be part of our shared table.”
The final published cookbook will feature sections such as Savoury Delights, Sweet Treats, First Nations Flavours, Family Favourites, and more. Donors will receive a complimentary copy of the book, which will also be available for sale at the museum’s gift shop and through local retailers.
The museum aims to include at least 64 pages of community-contributed content and encourages early submissions as space is limited. Submissions include a recipe, story, and up to three photos.
Community members, local businesses, and cultural groups are encouraged to get involved. Secure your page today and help us protect local stories, one delicious dish at a time!
