Don Dunstan's Cookbook

by Don Dunstan

Courage, innovation and change were the hallmarks of one of South Australia's most remarkable premiers, Don Dunstan, who served in the post for a short time in 1967 and again from 1970 to 1979.He not only steered many forward-thinking changes to SA's laws and legislation but also challenged our perspective on food, cooking, restaurants, theatre, the arts and even fashion.Who could forget his parade of short-sleeved safari suits, long socks and pink shorts?In the middle of his most productive time, 30 years ago this year, Don Dunstan found the energy and inspiration to write a cookbook.Don Dunstan's Cookbook defined the '70s in terms of kitchen arts, he later described it as ``a period piece'', yet its text and recipes remain relevant and sometimes innovative.

This is a wonderful recipe book that was way ahead of it's time. The author provided recipes for curries that didn't contain curry powder. Don Dunstan was obviously a keen cook but he also included stories and commentary of the changing times in south Australia. This is one of my most precious cook books along with a couple of books signed by Keith Floyd.

What can I say? This is the late, great Don Dunstan's infamous cookbook. I love it. I love him. I love South Australia :)
