  • The great Australian barbi...that wasn't so great and the beauty of cookbooks
    Mar 15 2026

    Writer, journalist and cultural observer David Free speaks with the Radio Show about the history of the great Australian barbi and how things have changed. We look back on a time that reflected the culture we were stuck in, when most of the flavour was provided by tomato sauce, when a lot of men didn't cook but at barbi's were always handed the tongs and when flippin' the meat and drinking beer were the only moves the men had. We look too, at the value and cultural significance of cookbooks and why they can be much more than just a book filled with recipes.
