On Custard, etc
Over the last years Sydney’s Powerhouse 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 deep 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.
