Drawing on recipes, food editorials and readers' memories, A Matter of Taste is a celebration of the Australian Women's Weekly'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. Meticulously researched and beautifully presented, A Matter of Taste takes you on an entertaining, nostalgic and insightful culinary journey through Australian food, culture and history.
