Vintage Food Shows

Without food life would not only be boring, but impossible. Television networks obviously agree: scan the TV listings, and cooking programmes are visible everywhere from My Kitchen Rules to Masterchef and Come Dine with Me. This Spotlight collection offers the chance to look back to a kinder, less competitive style of cooking show. Handling the cakes, crepes, and cheese toasties are the legendary Alison Holst, 60s-era Brit import Graham Kerr, Wellington’s Logan and Brown, the colourful Peta Mathias and the sometimes cruel, sometimes kind Hudson and Halls.
