On September 6th, our Members Lounge glowed with the warmth of good food and plenty of yellow as we gathered for a Turmeric Potluck Dinner. Everyone was invited to bring a dish featuring fresh turmeric – and the creativity was inspiring.

From turmeric tofu curry and creamy turmeric chicken with chickpeas, to chickpea and lentil curry, savoury turmeric pancakes, turmeric coconut custard, and even turmeric lattes – the table was a feast of golden flavours. Some of us cooked from favourite recipes, while others experimented and invented new dishes.

Turmeric was chosen as the theme not only because we had a bumper harvest this season, but also because of its wonderful health benefits. Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, turmeric is celebrated for supporting immunity and overall wellbeing – making it a perfect ingredient to highlight and share in so many different ways.

It was wonderful to see so many join in, sharing food, conversation, and laughter. A big thank you to Rafaele for organising and to all who helped with the clean-up. Most of all, thank you to everyone who came along and made the evening so delicious and fun!
