St Fagans Food Festival 2015

The archive at St Fagans has a large collection of recipes, the vast majority of them passed down from generation to generation. The information has been gathered through questionnaires, letters and handwritten recipes. But the bulk of the Collection was the work undertaken by Minwel Tibbott in the 1970s.

As part of St Fagans Food Festival held on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September 2015, there was a public call to add to this collection.

Many of you kindly brought along either your own time–honoured family recipes or adaptations of traditional dishes. These were the recipes collected.

Some images were collected from Tweets sent to @archifSFarchive, while others bought them along to Oakdale Workmen’s Institute during the Food Festival where they were scanned.

For the latest on this project, follow tweets by @archifSFarchive and @SF_Ystafelloedd and the hashtags #FoodFestival #Recipes.
