Cooking up Australia with Lauren Samuelsson
About
Join Lauren Samuelsson for a captivating discussion about her new book, A Matter of Taste, which offers a fascinating exploration of Australian cooking and the transformative influence of the Australian Women’s Weekly on the nation’s culinary identity.Since its inception in 1933, The Australian Women’s Weekly has been Australia’s highest-selling women’s magazine, in large part due to its hugely popular cookery section and companion cookbooks. From that birthday cake book to barbecues, and Chinese food, the Weekly taught generations of Australians what to eat and how to cook it at home.
Drawing on recipes, food editorials and readers’ memories A Matter of Taste is a celebration of the 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.
