Michael Symons Book order

In Meals Matter, Michael Symons returns economics to its roots in the distribution of food and the labor required. Setting the table with vivid descriptions of conviviality, he offers a gastronomic rebuttal to the narrow worldview of mainstream economics.

This gastronomic classic explores the unique evolution of Australian cuisine, shaped by a lack of peasant farming traditions. It highlights how camp food became central to Aussie dining and sparked a movement towards fresh produce and diverse flavors, influencing culinary trends for over 25 years.
