  • About

The Liberated Cook by the Reluctant Housewife, 1975 (courtesy Anne Fisher); and the Pineapple Princesses’ recreation of a pineapple cartwheel salad from the Golden Circle Tropical Recipe Book (image by Anne Fisher).

They’re known as the Pineapple Princesses—two women who share a passion for the versatile fruit that Australian cooks seemed to put in everything they made in the 1960s.
Dungog community artist and photographer, Anne Fisher, and former home economics teacher, Ann Rocca, from Queanbeyan, got to know each other when they taught together in Canberra in the 1980s. One day in 2012, Ann found an old recipe book at an op shop, written by Queensland home economist Ruby Borrowdale. After chuckling over the retro wonders it contained, the two women became curious about Ruby and decided to do a little research.
