A Celebration of Our Culinary Heritage with Recipes Rewritten for Today's Cooks.
This book is a delicious feast for all Australian food lovers. It is full of tantalising recipes and stories, as well as being a succinct history of our cooking and eating habits. The classic recipe for cooking a galah needs no introduction for most Australians. But not many people know the rich tradition of recipes, food-related stories and yarns from colonial times and before.
Laurel Dyson gives new insights into our culinary heritage, dispelling myths that food lovers have taken for granted, such as the notion that early settlers disregarded Aboriginal foods and cooking methods. The book includes delicious and easy-to-make recipes, such as Gatherer's Oysters, Vegemite and Walnut Sandwiches, Gum-leaf Fish, Bush Pie, Paperbark Chook and Quong Tart Scones.
They may be washed down with a Red-back Spider or a Drought Breaker and followed with Damper and Lillipilly Jelly, Tutti Fruitti Ice-cream or a slice of Passionfruit Sponge. The recipes are introduced with food stories and quotes from a cornucopia of sources, bringing the past alive.
