AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'From snaggers on the barbie to dainty desserts for dames, Stew a Cockatoo is the cookbook that every Australian has been waiting for. Not only is this book jam-packed (no pun intended) with good ol' Aussie recipes but it's full of anecdotal stories about how our cuisine came to be and fair dinkum definitions for words and phrases like 'bush tucker' and 'spuds'.
'Stew a Cockatoo is also full of facts that you just can't live without. Like, did you know that of all the foods eaten week by week in Australia that Spag Bol is #1? And that the phrase 'fair suck of the sav' was a phrase used when passing the one and only sausage between family and friends during the Great Depression? ' (Publication summary)
