Michael Symons instigated the Symposiums of Australian Gastronomy in 1984, has published books on Australian cuisine and possesses a PhD in what he calls the sociology of cuisine. Here, he argues the importance of an early nineteenth-century German work on cookery, recently published in English for the first time by Prospect Books.
