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

Published in 1893, 'The Art of Living in Australia' by Philip E. Muskett addresses the dietary and lifestyle challenges faced by Australians in a semi-tropical climate. Muskett advocates for the use of local produce, emphasizing the need to adapt food habits to enhance public health and support local industries. He critiques the overreliance on meat and tea, while promoting the potential of Australian wines and a more diverse vegetable consumption. This guide serves as both a practical cookbook with 300 recipes and a social commentary on Australian customs and health practices.
