Memories Kitchen is a programme created and developed by Laura Khan Mitchison at On the Record in 2017, alongside the South London-based food charity and community kitchen, Be Enriched. This phase of the project engaged young people, aged 18-25, in collecting stories about food, memory and belonging. The cohort took part in a series of training workshops led by Tania Aubeelack, oral historian at On the Record, followed by interviews with community members. These interviews inspired a specially curated menu booklet and a community feast with a temporary photography exhibition in March 2026.
