Rockstar cookbook

Jimmy Barnes is an Australian rock music legend, but he had the good sense, 40 years ago, to marry a woman who was an excellent cook, and then to stay married to her. They have jointly produced (as well as a fair tribe of children and grandchildren) a cookbook, Where the River Bends. I found a copy by accident in the local library this afternoon. I've seen them together a few times on Adam Liaw's TV show "The Cook-Up", cooking and chatting. The book is gorgeous — beautiful photography of food, family and their home in semi-rural New South Wales. The recipes look pretty good, and cover a wide range from comfort food to Thai specialities, including some less familiar ones. I think I'll actually buy the book.

People in the Green Dragon know that despite my username and my love for all things baroque and classical, I still have a fondness for the rock and pop music that was around in my youth. Here's Jimmy Barnes of 40 or so years ago: "Cheap Wine and a Three-Day Growth" and Jimmy with Tina Turner: "Simply the Best" (I didn't even know this existed).

>2 MarthaJeanne: I didn't expect a comment from anyone on this ... Are you a fan of Tina Turner by any chance?

Not a big fan, but, yes I like her, and I like that song, so I decided to try your link, but I couldn't get in. So I tried Google, then shared the link I found in case others had the same problem. BTW, Your Jinny matches her very well.

It's the same video anyway. I'm not Haydn my love for the classical (even have the same birthday) but I like Jimmy Barnes somewhat, and Tina Turner also (had her house pointed out to us in Zürich years ago).

Speaking of Haydn (and Mozart, and Bach) in Vienna, you might enjoy https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCgrwxPZh_TopXj57J056UTw. Richard and Jane Fuller live close to us, and we run into them at the supermarket or in the Nationalpark along the Danube. Nice people, and he is a superb fortepiano player.
