The Getting of Garlic

Australian food from bland to brilliant, with recipes old and new

About this book

A culinary journey through Australia's past, present, and future. Renowned food writer John Newton explores the evolution of Australian cuisine, from its bland beginnings to its brilliant, multicultural present. Discover the fascinating story of how Alliumphobia (fear of garlic) shaped the nation's early food habits and how immigration transformed the culinary landscape.

Newton visits fine dining restaurants, cafes, and home kitchens, sampling dishes old and new, revealing what has changed and what remains the same. He examines the British influence, the rise of regional dishes, and the emergence of a unique Australian Essengeist (eating spirit).

  • Understand the historical context of Australian food
  • Explore the multicultural influences that have shaped the cuisine
  • Discover authentic Australian recipes
  • Appreciate the social and political dimensions of food

For food historians, culinary students, chefs, and anyone curious about the story behind Australia's diverse and delicious food culture.
