The museum is working with food historian Peter Brears to produce a new recipe book.
Do you have a special dish handed down through your family? The museum would love to hear from anyone who has any handwritten recipes they would be willing to share.
The recipes used will be cooked at Malton Cookery School and photographed for the book.
If you have a special recipe email the museum at [email protected] or leave a message, detailing your dish, on 01653 691262.
