Arts Food: for you from us

Abstract

Usually, Orientation is a time for us to welcome new students and share food together from local Melbourne institution the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre Catering Division. Sadly, this year, we can't come together to meet and eat in person. We're missing the ASRC's okonomiyaki, rice paper rolls, and bishak. However, our difficult present circumstances have also given rise to innovation. Instead of catering, we've created an alternative form of culinary goodness to give you: this cookbook of favourite recipes from professional and academic staff in the Faculty of Arts. Photographs of food and gardens from our campuses are featured throughout, and we've also used this book to highlight some passages of writing from Faculty of Arts Researchers who explore the relationships that food has with histories, cultures, politics, and more.
