A Timeline of Australian Food takes readers on a tasty and sometimes surprising culinary journey through 150 years of Australian food. Lavishly illustrated, this tasty book looks at what weve eaten, how weve shopped, and how weve produced and prepared our food, decade by decade, through depression, war, and decades of abundance.
Within the lifetime of todays Baby Boomers, there have been revolutionary changes in how we eat. The standard AngloIrish staples of meat and potatoes havent disappeared, but theyve been joined by pizza and pho, kimchi and kebabs. And once we had two takeaway options fish and chips but now theyre endless. Never bland, this is history in digestible chunks with big helpings of tasty trivia and a generous dash of nostalgia. How did Tim Tams get their name? Why was Australias first commercial olive oil produced in a prison? Why were revolving restaurants so popular? Youll come back wanting a second helping.
