New edition of exhibition on family recipes challenges Portuguese people to share notebooks and memories at the table
The University of Coimbra is launching the second edition of a project focused on family recipes and dining memories. The 'Family Recipe Notebooks' exhibition, running from October 21 to November 20, 2026, invites residents in Portugal to share their handwritten recipe books and the personal stories behind them. The initiative aims to preserve culinary heritage, valuing the emotional significance of these items over their age or appearance. Submissions are open until October 5 via the project's online platform, with all borrowed materials to be returned to their owners after the exhibition.
