Dawn is the first-born hearing child of deaf adults. Growing up in post-war suburban Melbourne, Dawns family looked like almost everyone else until they started talking on their hands. Her first language was tactile, visual, physical and theatrical, teaching her to be aware of details, accept differences and informing her understanding of how stories are told. At a young age she became the interpreter for her mothers family, who never learnt to sign. Dawns memoir, Unheard Voices, tells her remarkable story.

This presentation on Pellegrino Artusi''''''''s first national Italian cookbook will offer the opportunity to fully appreciate the cultural richness of Italian cuisine and its regional variety. By exploring Artusi''''''''s work of unification on a culinary level, we''''''''ll better understand the social aspect of food and its centrality in human relationships. As Greek philosopher and historian Plutarch wrote in the first century AD, ''''''''We don''''''''t invite one another simply to eat and drink, but to eat and drink together''''''''. Once again, as part of this talk you will enjoy traditional regional food prepared by the chefs at Parlapa, according to Artusi''''s original recipes.
