Whose recipe is it anyway? A nourishing conversation about food and culture

They say we are what we eat, and in this big, migrant nation, every dish tells a story, about culture, about connection, about identity. But when traditional cuisines become mainstream, does cultural appreciation risk becoming cultural appropriation? Can you own a recipe?

This event was recorded at the Oz Asia Festival in Adelaide.
