This is seasonal home cooking, Barnes style.

About Jane and Jimmy Barnes

Jane and Jimmy Barnes have spent over 40 years together, sharing a life of music, cooking and travel and raising their family. During that time, Jimmy became one of the most successful artists in Australian music history, selling more records locally than any other rock 'n' roll artist and scoring 22 No. 1 albums.

Unable to tour during the Covid pandemic, Jane and Jimmy launched a series of 'at home' online performances, which attracted more than 120 million views on social media and brought their many thousands of fans and followers directly into their living room.

In 2021, inspired by the food they love and the legendary feasts they host for family and friends, Jane and Jimmy published their first cookbook collection, Where the River Bends, which became an instant bestseller.
