The Oldest Foods on Earth

A History of Australian Native Foods with Recipes

About this book

Discover the ancient flavors of Australia and its culinary heritage. This is a journey into the unique flora and fauna that nourished Aboriginal peoples for over 50,000 years, a cuisine largely untouched by European influence.

John Newton explores the paradox of celebrating global culinary diversity while neglecting the superfoods native to Australia. He argues that to truly connect with this land, we must embrace the foods that have sustained its people for millennia. This book is for chefs, food enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Australian cuisine.

Oldest Foods on Earth offers more than just recipes; it's a call to culinary responsibility and cultural reconciliation. Learn to use native ingredients in innovative ways, honor the traditions of Aboriginal communities, and discover the flavors that define Australia's true culinary identity.

  • Uncover the history and cultural significance of Australian native foods.
  • Explore sustainable and culturally sensitive food practices.
  • Find recipes and information on using native ingredients.
