bunyip from Melbourne, VIC
When I showed this book to a friend the response was "Have you got it insured?" This most beautifully illustrated volume is a fascinating history that grew out of the author's collection of menu cards.
If you want to know what Queen Victoria ate for lunch (there was curry every day) or what President Obama has for dinner, here it is. And yes, there are recipes, some of which look worth trying.
