SHOW INFORMATION
DUNEDIN ARTS FESTIVAL PRESENTS:
TE RADAR’s COOKBOOKERY
Aotearoa NZ
Te Radar’s Cookbookery is the perfect recipe for a night out … It’s a cracker of a show” — Theatreview
Te 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.
Proudly supported by Woodland Free Range Eggs

ACCESS AT THE MAYFAIR THEATRE:
The Mayfair Theatre unfortunately does not have disabled access. The easiest access into the auditorium is via one flight of stairs (18 steps) and up a slight ramp to get into the halfway point of the auditorium, this gets you to row J which we recommend as the best seats for low mobility patrons in particular seats J3-J8 and seats J23-J28.
Public toilets are located at the very top of the stairs in the foyer.
