The Jean Bowring Show is an Australian television cooking show that aired on Melbourne station HSV-7[1] from 1957 to 1960. At one point it aired in a 15-minute timeslot,[1] but later became a 30-minute series.[2]
The Jean Bowring show is notable as an early attempt by Australian television at producing programming aimed at women, along with series like HSV-7's Interior Decoration (with Joyce Turner) and ABC's Women's World (with Joy Wren).
It is not known if any kinescope recordings exist of the series. During the 1950s/1960s in Australia, daytime series were rarely considered worth keeping after broadcast.
