Blueprint for Recipes

Résumé du livre

Blueprint for Recipes is a chronicle of Joseph Henry Walker (1826-1916), architect, builder, miller, manufacturer and entrepreneur, who left England at age 22 as the first school master on an immigrant ship to Australia. As he adapts to the needs of the nascent Adelaide, Bendigo and Melbourne, as well as his growing family, his history as a pioneer in South Australia and Victoria parallels the vicissitudes of the fledging colonial economy through boom and bust.
