Ep 9. Carol Ferrone from Further Back in Time for Dinner on what we can learn from our past
Hello and welcome back to Dish, a cooking podcast. I’m your host Kate Gibbs. This is episode nine and today I have Carol Ferrone, the time travelling mum on the extraordinary social and historical show everyone loves on the ABC right now, Further Back in Time for Dinner.
I appeared on the show this season, in the 1930s, as Carol and her family navigated the 1930s, including The Great Depression, which hit most Australians very hard. We cook and I muster all the insights I have (many passed down to me from my grandmother Margaret Fulton) on thrifty cooking, no waste, and the clever ways Australians found to eat in the 1930s. Want to know what to do with a calf’s tail, this is the episode for you.
Guided by Annabel Crabb and now in its second season, the real-life Ferrone family goes on a time-travelling adventure - back 120 years -to discover how the food we eat has transformed the way we live, the fabric of the nation and defined family roles. This season, they immerse themselves in the time between Federation and the 1940s.
I hope you enjoy this episode with Carol Ferrone. Here she is.
