bunyip from Melbourne, VIC
This extraordinary book is primarily a history of the cookbook (and by extension of present-day cuisine) from antiquity to the nineteenth century, sourced from the authors' collection. As a book, beautifully designed and illustrated, it is just a delight.
As well as being a well-written and fascinating history, it also contains recipes, adapted as required from the originals.
