Irene Matys brings Cypriot flavors to Joseph Brant Museum's eat make share series

The Joseph Brant Museum is hosting a new event in its eat make share speaker series. On May 26, 2026, acclaimed cookbook author Irene Matys will take centre stage to discuss her work and culinary heritage. The evening promises a mix of storytelling, food, and hands-on demonstrations for attendees aged 12 and older. The event kicks off with early access to the museum’s special exhibit, eat make share: a taste of immigration. Doors open one hour before the presentation, giving guests time to explore the display before Matys begins her talk.

Matys will focus on her cookbook *My Cypriot Table*, sharing how her family’s cultural roots shaped her cooking. Alongside the discussion, she will lead a live recipe demonstration. Attendees can also purchase signed copies of her book, available directly from the author or in the museum’s gift shop. The evening includes admission to the museum, the speaker presentation, and light refreshments. This session is part of a monthly series featuring top Canadian cookbook authors, each bringing their unique culinary perspectives to the stage.

The May 26 event offers a chance to hear from Irene Matys, sample her recipes, and explore the eat make share exhibit. Tickets cover the full experience, from the talk to refreshments and museum access. The series continues monthly with new authors and themes.
