I've been a compulsive reader, writer and theatre goer all my life. My book blog is here: http://alittleteaalittlechat.wordpress.com/ Mostly food at the moment but also knitting is here: http://cathyingeneva.wordpress.com/
The influence of this book which transformed Australian eating in the 1960s cannot be overestimated. Remarkable book for its (what we'd call now) multi-cultural authenticity in the face of White Australia. Lately it's been revised, but it scarcely needs it.
