A pineapple glut in the 1960s helped create one of the nation’s first food influencers according to a new podcast series from State Library of Queensland.
Home economist and “one woman branding machine” Ruby Borrowdale was engaged by Brisbane’s Golden Circle cannery to write a cookbook to address the oversupply. The Golden Circle Tropical Recipe Book went on to became one of the state’s most influential cookbooks, made the Sunshine State synonymous with the tropical fruit and secured Borrowdale’s status as one of Queensland’s earliest celebrity chefs.
Cake: the podcast, presented by award-winning producer Kaitlyn Sawrey, explores the fascinating role these sweet treats have played in Queensland’s history and identity.
Over 7 episodes we meet Queenslanders making (and baking) it big on the world stage and explore some of the food traditions of the world's oldest cultures.
