Come smell what Moore Park is cooking!
We have found a fascinating cookbook created by the Moore Park Big Sister Circle as a fundraiser back in the 1920’s. It’s a time capsule, and some of these recipes might even be timeless.
The cookbook was donated to the Moore Park community by Moore Park resident Diane Fennell, on behalf of Jan Wainright. It is in the care of local historian Lorraine Tinsley, whose daughter Kyra Assaad has digitized it and made it available to the MPRA for all the community to appreciate. Diane and friends “The Moore Park Tea Ladies” have been getting together since the early 1970s, and in 2010 they donated a park bench in Moorevale Park as a tribute to their friendship.
