From birthday cakes to   barbecues, mock meat to Chinese food, the \u003ci\u003eWeekly\u003c\/i\u003e taught generations of Australians what to eat and how to cook it at home. Yet despite this, the magazine and its influence on Australian cooking has been overlooked in histories of Australian food. \u003ci\u003eA Matter of Taste \u003c\/i\u003erestores the \u003ci\u003eWeekly\u003c\/i\u003e to its rightful place at the centre of Australia's food culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on recipes, food editorials and readers' memories, \u003ci\u003eA Matter of Taste\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of the\u003ci\u003e Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e's vital role in the development of Australian food culture, debunking the myth that Australian food was 'bland' and 'boring' prior to postwar migration, and illuminating important relationships between food, culture and identity. It shows that the magazine encouraged its readers (mostly women) to be adventurous, to experiment in the kitchen, and to try new ingredients and flavours, stimulating an eclectic, Australian way of eating, which is still reflected on our tables today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeticulously researched and beautifully presented, \u003ci\u003eA Matter of Taste\u003c\/i\u003e takes   you on an entertaining, nostalgic and insightful culinary journey through   Australian food, culture and history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46867096928414,"sku":"ADS-9781925835991","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925835991.jpg?v=1779429829","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925835991","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
