Inspired by the State's Archives
Inspired by the State’s archives …
Inspired by the menus in the State archives collection, Hadleigh Troy creates dishes for Eating the Archives. Sourcing fresh West Australian produce, he reinvents the menus of past State occasions.
What herbs will be used? What unique WA ingredient has been chosen to honour the Consommés that appear in so many historic menus? How are syringes, balloons and liquid nitrogen used to create one of the dishes? In this video get an insider’s view of a top chef’s creative process to conceive the menu for Eating the Archives.
The Eating the Archives exhibition reveals the unexpected stories behind the inspiration for this event, showing the fundamental role food has in our society, and in the marking of important occasions of State.
