      Te Radar’s Cookbookery! is the perfect recipe for a night out …. It’s a cracker of a show Theatreview 

      A comedic celebration of food from the beloved and bizarre cookbooks of our past. Te Radar has sampled a 150 years of New Zealand cookbooks to find the tastiest morsels, with a side of sumptuous vintage food photography.

      Revealing New Zealand's rich - and very weird - home cooking heritage we rediscover celebrity chefs such as Graham Kerr, Alison Holst, Aunt Daisy, and Hudson and Halls. 

      Savour the desperate lengths kiwi cookbooks went to encourage us to eat more dairy, offal, and kiwifruit: Cold Sour Kiwifruit Soup anyone? Explore cookbook recipes supplied by ordinary kiwis for school fundraisers and competitions that suggest some of us were not to be trusted with food.

      Why did we disguise mutton as poultry? Which best-selling cookbook writer thought fried brains were the perfect food for children? Is the brilliant 'Recipes With Canned Foods Are Interesting' the greatest cookbook in the nation's history?

      Multi award-winning comedian Te Radar dishes up a smorgasbord of kiwi classics moulded into a deliciously hilarious and sentimental journey through the Cookbookery of our past.

      Bring along your favourite supper dish to share, there will be a competition for best plate!
