Autumn 2025
Meet Our Mothers
Deepa Mann-Kler
An interactive cookbook celebrating Bradford’s heritage.
A tribute to family, community and the unifying power of food.
Artist Deepa Mann-Kler is collecting dozens of treasured family recipes and stories from communities across Bradford District – from mothers and fathers, grandparents and great-grandparents, daughters and sons. Passed down from generation to generation, these treasured recipes show how cooking brings and binds together our families and communities – and how it allows us to take a little piece of home with us wherever we go.
This beautiful cookbook will be published in autumn 2025, with special digital content bringing many of the book’s recipes to life. Every home should have one.
Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
