Do they pass the pub Test?

Speaker 4 (00:07):
I saw something that Wendy Harmer put on Socials over
the weekend. She's throwing out a whole stack of cookbooks
and she said, I've kept just a few select treasured ones,
but other recipes are all online. Is it the end
of the cookbook?

Speaker 5 (00:19):
She should sell them on eBay?

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Wendy Harmer's cooking book Cookbooks complete with Wendy stains with
Wendy's scribbles in them. Research shows that the book industry
is in trouble, except for cookbooks. People are still buying cookbooks.
I love my cookbooks. If I don't use them all
the time, I love having them. I love looking through
them and planning what I might cook, even if I

(00:41):
never will. I love a cook You rip out a
recipe out of the newspaper every day, you put it
in your bag, and then you never use it, but
three weeks later I check it out.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's like the Karma Sutra.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Cookbooks. Did they passed the pub test?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
It does, especially when I do cook I don't like
rereading recipes online because every time I get to an
important part, the screensavers on a flock, so I've got
to get my dirty fingers and tap my password in.

Speaker 6 (01:07):
So, yes, cookbook.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Pass a pub test if you're a collector. Absolutely. I
have so many at home that my wife will ever
read and I never read. But every time I see
something I don't have from someone I like, I have
to go and buy it.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
We came to your Jon't Dinnermanda's Jimmy Jam a few
years back when you had the launch of Jimmy Barnes's
Where the River Bend, and my sister and I absolutely
love it and refer to it all the time, So
definitely passes the pub text.

Speaker 6 (01:32):
I use the cookbook for decoration in the home so
our life people use books as decorations, face, back them
up and put them there. I use them also a decoration.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
In my home now, and mine back from about twenty
down to three one on airfye, one on microwaving, and
the old one from the nineteen forty is the Common
Sense Cookbook, which I'm keeping for Center Metal.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
The Common Sense Cookbook.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
You'd be a lot of lard in that one't.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
They a lot of large common sense lard. Don't points
it up, Just eat a stick of butter.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
