The intriguing history of the community cookbook

Who doesn't love a passionfruit sponge, jam roly-poly or nice fluffy scone? How about fish soup or an anglicised chop suey? While we might get excited about classic bakes, community cookbooks are much more than your community, parish or County Women's Association fundraisers. They're time capsules that reveal so much about the social and political fabric of a community at a particular point in time. They're also treasure troves of nostalgia that help us connect to our families, memories and ancestors long passed.

DZ Deathrays, Dear Seattle and more join fundraiser festival for Bugs bassist Jordan Brunoli

Brisbane venue The Tivoli is hosting a massive day festival this October to raise funds for Bugs bassist Jordan Brunoli, who was recently diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer. Organised by local music industry groups GRAIN & Sunroom, Saving A Bug's Life will feature more than 13 sets over two stages, with the likes of Dear Seattle, Beddy Rays, Sly Withers and The Buoys all stepping up to the plate. Bugs themselves will also headline the night, as well as DJ sets from DZ Deathrays, RAAVE TAPES and more. All the proceeds and bar profits will be donated to help Jordan out with fees for treatment, specialist appointments, medicines and equipment. The music community came together after Bugs disclosed Jordan's diagnosis this June on Instagram, ahead of him beginning chemotherapy. "At just 29 years of age this has come as a huge shock to his family and loved ones," the band wrote. "Jordan has spent over a decade selflessly giving his energy to our band Bugs, and through that effort has made a profoundly positive impact on the lives of many. "He has always done this from a place of generosity and love; his primary motivation being connecting with people via music and performing." Lots of other bands, including Powderfinger, Dune Rats, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Ruby Fields and Teenage Joans are also throwing their support behind Jordan too. They're all contributing signed vinyls and prizes as part of the day's four raffle prizes to be won throughout the day., which also include hotel stays, vouchers and instruments too. Your ticket will instantly enter you, or you can still grab one online if you can't make it on the day and want to support. Tickets are already on sale now, with info on all the raffle prizes and more over on GRAIN's site. Get on down for a good cause.

‘Collarbone has gone': Max Verstappen's Daniel Ricciardo prophecy comes true

Red Bull star Max Verstappen's magic appears to extend well beyond the F1 track, as a recently unearthed conversation with Daniel Ricciardo has proven. The former teammates were thick as thieves in the paddock and the affection has continued even after the Aussie was pushed into retirement. Fox Sports, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every practice, qualifying session and race in the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship™ LIVE in 4K. New to Kayo?

But the easily recognisable Aussie made headlines over the weekend after he was hospitalised due to a motorbike crash in Queensland while driving through the Daintree. He was reportedly taken to Mossman Hospital for treatment after suffering a collarbone injury — remember that. Despite the injury, he was reportedly 'in good spirits'. But before he left the grid, everyone's favourite F1 personality shared a microphone with Verstappen in a joint interview with Channel 10's now-defunct The Project last season. Watch the video in the player above. 'Dan, you've got one perfect day with Max as your date. Where do you take him in Australia?' interviewer Georgie Tunny said. Ricciardo: 'Whoa, whoa! A friendly date? We're going to get the wrong idea …' Verstappen: 'Your farm? Let's go there.' Ricciardo: 'Yes, yes, yes. To my farm. And we would ride …' Verstappen: 'Break a leg …' Ricciardo: '[We would ride] Honda, little 110cc dirt bikes. That is what we'd be doing all day.' Verstappen: 'And then we call Red Bull and we're like: 'Argh, we just had a shunt. We can't do the next four races because Daniel's collarbone has gone!'' Ricciardo: 'No, don't say that!' That's some dark magic Verstappen is playing with … All jokes aside, Ricciardo has often been seen in downtime driving fast in any vehicle he can get his hands on and makes the most of his Western Australian ranch. It's one of several properties the 14-year F1 veteran owns around the world. The news of Ricciardo's injury comes after he opened up on his post-F1 life while headlining the Ray White's Connect conference recently. 'Well, I haven't been shaving my face. The beard is my comfort right now,' he told sports presenter Mel McLaughlin. 'I had a fallout with my barber and then I lost my razor. It's been a tough six months.' He then got serious, saying he realised his drive for F1 success made him somewhat 'selfish' and, since being axed from Red Bull, has been working hard to find himself and focus on what really matters in life. 'I've lived this crazy, high-speed life for so long, and I just sat into a little bit of stillness. I suddenly wasn't always surrounded by a tonne of people giving their opinions and thoughts,' Ricciardo continued. 'I've had a lot of time, I've done some hiking. I was in Alaska a few weeks ago and didn't get mauled by a grizzly which was a bonus. 'I've been trying to figure out who I am other than this race car driver. 'I've come to appreciate the little things more and the meaning of the importance of family and friends. 'I've always been driven, and that sometimes leads you to being selfish, so I'm trying to learn to be a bit more selfless and become a better listener.'
