The Art of Living in Australia Together with Three Hundred Australian Cookery Recipes and Accessory Kitchen Information by Mrs. H. Wicken

"The Art of Living in Australia" by Philip E. Muskett is like a manual from the past, shining a light on how Australians lived and ate back in the 1800s. It focuses on how the hot Australian climate should influence what people eat, pushing for more fresh local stuff like fish, veggies, and salads instead of relying so much on meat. The book highlights that Australians weren't taking full advantage of the food that could be grown locally, while also imagining a future where Australian wines were more popular. It is like the author is giving everyone a nudge to eat better, healthier, and support local farmers.
