"Harry and Soniaβs recipe for curating cultural experiences features the perfect mix of ingredients including heritage, food, storytelling and creative flare, resulting in relevant and exciting cultural experience. They celebrate people, places and communities with such passion and care and itβs a true delight to work with them."

"Edible Archives are a dream to work with. They engaged an audience that rarely come to Sunny Bank Mills and helped us animate our heritage through everyoneβs favourite topic, food. I was so impressed with how quickly and enthusiastically they absorbed the contents of our archive. The artistic rigour of the final sharing was extremely high and our community of visitors clearly loved chatting with Harry and Sonia. I am so looking forward to working with Edible Archives again."

"Edible Archives was one of the most uniques sessions Iβve seen in terms of gallery/museum interaction for the public, the museum young ambassadors who worked with them and our own staff. To use food, natural paints/dyes linked to the fine art collection of the city, in the civic art gallery and to an international artist as part of City of Culture, Bradford 2025 was really quite phenomenal. On a Sunday in misty autumn, we had children, adults, even the leader of the council visit and take part in this Arts Council Funded activity."

"It was good to see popular culture, fashion and music in Leeds recognised and archived. It gave me a sense of belonging to a community of creative and interesting people. The event combined a variety of mediums and allowed for the exhibits to create conversations. The audio meant that if you were on your own you didn't feel excluded or awkward in a big space that was being looked down on by the public."

"There was genuine care and thought put into the project, as well as extensive research to centre the subcultures and communities of Leeds. Overall it was a multi-sensory interactive experience involving some delicious mushroom tacos and a very clever way to associate a pleasurable snacking experience with the alternative history of Leeds!"

"Theyβve created such an interesting, playful, immersive, curious and delicious way to learn more about the history of Kirkgate Market and the artist William Mitchellβs work, and I left with a full belly and a full heart. Canβt wait to see what else they work on in the future."
