World Flavours: A Culinary Journey Cookbook

In 2024, the My Melbourne Student Ambassadors along with the International Student Officers designed the cookbook featuring recipes from the World Flavours cooking workshops.

These workshops, part of the City of Melbourne's My Melbourne Program, offered a unique opportunity to learn from and connect with international students while exploring the vibrant culinary traditions of South Korea, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, India, Mauritius, and Malaysia through hands-on cooking classes held from September to November 2024.

Explore the cookbook (PDF 16.6 MB) for easy and affordable recipes.
