From Ballarat, Victoria
It starts with the family recipe box.
Recipes Kept Close grew from Nathan’s Maltese–Australian family recipes. Some were in notebooks, some in drawers and others on phones. He wanted one place for the recipes, photos and stories, so the next generation could cook them too.
Today, Nana Nita’s currant and walnut biscuits sit alongside a Biscoff cheesecake. There’s always room for another favourite.

Save the dishes you still make, the cards you can’t replace and the stories you want the next cook to know.
