This shared lunch is a chance to tell your friends and neighbours some stories about your favourite food. Please bring a plate of your ‘signature dish’, something home-cooked that has meaning for you. Your host, poet Kirsten Luckins, will help you capture your special food memories as lines in a community poem, and introduce you to a selection of delicious poems about cooking and eating.
