Abstract
The Anzac Table explores the food and drink of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the First World War, drawing on extensive research from soldiers' diaries, letters, and official reports to examine military rations, alternative food sources, and their impact on soldiers' physical and emotional wellbeing. The book also highlights the social and cultural significance of food in maintaining morale and shaping identity, debunks common myths about Anzac cuisine, and discusses its lasting influence on Australian culinary traditions.
