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

The work offers practical, reforming guidance on diet, household cookery, and food production suited to a semi-tropical environment, arguing that excessive meat and tea consumption should be reduced in favour of more fish, diverse vegetables, salads, and everyday wine. It surveys fisheries, market gardening, and vineyard practices, highlights school cookery and public-health links, and urges industry development to increase local supply and employment. Practical kitchen instruction follows, with three hundred recipes and accessory kitchen information compiled to encourage economical, nourishing daily meals and to adapt culinary habits to available local resources.
