I Miss My Mum’s Cooking’

“Letha was the master of her kitchen, controlling who had access and ultimately what my dad and us four children ate. My first tastes came from the dishes she cooked and her homemade drinks. This mastery had been fine-tuned from cooking as a young woman for her mother and siblings in the Caribbean to cooking for her family in England. At the centre of this installation as shrine is my late mother’s Dutch Pot with her cooking history burnt into its bottom that speaks to the material culture of Caribbean migrant diasporic food and cooking culture evoking/invoking memory, the senses, sucking the chicken bone as well as health, loss and legacy”

Michael McMillan is a British born writer, playwright, artist/curator and scholar of Vincentian migrant heritage.
