Te Radar’s Cookbookery
March 31st, 2025, 7PM
Radar presents a comedic celebration of the beloved and bizarre cookbooks from New Zealand’s past, with a side of sumptuous vintage food photography. It’s a hilarious, heartwarming, (and potentially stomach-churning) show.
Alongside revealing New Zealand’s rich – and very strange – home cooking heritage, we’ll rediscover celebrity chefs such as Graham Kerr, Alison Holst, Aunt Daisy and Hudson & Halls, and a swag of lesser-known names, including ordinary New Zealanders who did things to food that shouldn’t have been done.

Why did we disguise mutton as poultry? Why did Alison Holst believe fried brains were the perfect food for children? And is the brilliant Recipes With Canned Foods Are Interesting the greatest cookbook written in the nation’s history?
Fortunately, no food is served during the show.
