| Summary |
: Presenting the history of Australia gastronomically, this work challenges myths such as that Australia is 'too young' for a national cuisine, and that immigration caused the restaurant boom. It shows us that Australia is unique because its citizens have not developed a true contact with the land, have not had a peasant society |
