Sydney, famed for its setting and natural beauty, has fascinated
from the day it was conceived as an end-of-the-world repository for
British felons, to its current status as one of the world's most
appealing cities. This book recounts, and celebrates, the central
role food has played in shaping the city's development from the
time of first human settlement to the sophisticated, open, and
cosmopolitan metropolis it is today. The reader will learn of the
Sydney region's unique natural resources and come to appreciate how
these shaped food habits through its pre-history and early European
settlement; how its subsequent waves of immigrants enriched its
food scene; its love-hate relationship with alcohol; its markets,
restaurants, and other eateries; and, how Sydneysiders, old and
new, eat at home. The story concludes with a fascinating review of
the city's many significant cookbooks and their origins, and some
iconic recipes relied upon through what is, for a global city, a
remarkably brief history.
