This article traces examples of remembered food cultures of the 1950s and 1960s in Australia, as starting points for addressing their mythic re-inscription in the 1990s. Analysing iconic images from cookbooks, positioned against fragments of women's remembering, the article suggests the need for more complex narratives than those of nostalgic returns to secure suburban pasts or of thankful culinary escapes towards multiculturalism and cosmopolitan identity.
