The Getting of Garlic

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

About this book

The white colonizers of Australia suffered from Alliumphobia, a fear of garlic. Before garlic we had meat and potatoes; after garlic, what we ate got much more interesting. Renowned food writer John Newton visits fine dining restaurants, the cafes and mid-range restaurants, and heads home to the dinner tables as he samples what everyday people have eaten over the centuries. His observations and recipes show what has changed and what hasn't changed.
