A Recipe for Life: The Food that Shapes Us Details
Presented by the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia in partnership with the State Library of Western Australia, this free exhibition is open every day of the Show.
Curated and displayed earlier this year by the State Library of Western Australia, this fascinating exhibition explores our gastronomic past through themes of migration, gender, geography and commerce. Our home grown brands, love of catching our own dinner and celebration of food at the Perth Royal Show feature in the exhibition, a must see for anyone who loves food.
