Aussie rock icon Jimmy Barnes has certainly lived a full life but he hasn't been living his best life - until now.

The award winning musician and writer has just collaborated with his wife Jane on their second cookbook: Seasons Where the River Bends. 

Dedicated to the medical professionals who literally saved his life after a series of health scares, the book is as much about good food as it is about finding beauty in every day and sharing it with the people you love. 

Jimmy and Jane speak to Paddy about the healing power of truth, acceptance - and a great recipe or two.
