Australia is home to some of the world's best food and wine destinations, and this book will help you to discover the very best of them. Divided into regional sections, Gourmet Touring around Australia covers everything from fine-dining restaurants, breezy cafes and up-market produce stores, to farm-gate stalls, cheesemaking factories, olive groves, boutique breweries and cellar doors. For every region there are recommendations for where to stay, information on gourmet festivals and markets, and a suggested itinerary that will help you to decide where to stop, whether your gourmet tour is just for a weekend or longer. Researched and written by local travel and food writers, and with a completely new design and flexi-binding for better on-road use, this guide is the must-have companion for any foodie, wine lover or beer lover.

Handwritten recipes passed through the generations, tales of goats running wild in colonial gardens and early settlers' experimentation with native foods ...Eat Your History dishes up stories and recipes from Australian kitchens and dining tables from 1788 to the 1950s. Jacqui Newling, resident gastronomer at Sydney Living Museums, invites you to share forgotten tastes and lost techniques, and to rediscover some delicious culinary treasures.

Eat History offers fascinating new insights into the emerging field of gastronomic studies and its intersection with cultural history, and includes the writing of nine leading historians on topics ranging from vodka to patty cakes. Though primarily focused on Australia, the transnational nature of many of the essays widens the scope to include Russia and the British Empire, as well as Italy. With its engaging and entertaining tone, the volume will prove to be of interest not only to research...

Bold Palates is lovingly researched and extensively illustrated. Barbara Santich helps us to a deeper understanding of Australian identity by examining the way we eat. Not simply a gastronomic history, her book is also a history of Australia and Australians.

This is the first volume of an annual series that celebrates the best in newly commissioned food writing. The first of its kind in Australia, this series aims to be bold and unique - and to start the conversation about food in the wider community.
