On Custard, etc
Over the last years Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum has commissioned a number of writers to write about objects in their collection. In 2024 I was one of them. At the time I was interested in custard, so I chose a recipe book—not a published cookbook, but a school exercise book full of handwritten recipes (and related additions snipped from packets, magazines and pamphlets) that was begun in New Zealand in the 1930s.
And so began my dive … into custard.
On Custard is published on the Powerhouse’s website. You can read it here.
Also, forgot to post this earlier, The Past is a Wild Party was nominated for an AWGIE Award (Stage Original). Always good to be nominated—especially by fellow writers.
