The English and Australian Cookery Book is considered to be the first Australian cookbook . Written by Edward Abbott, it was published in 1864. The full title of the first and only edition reads The English and Australian Cookery Book Cookery for the Many, as well as the upper ten thousand Upper Ten Thousand by an Australian Aristology Aristologist . In the 1970s, a selection of material from Abbott s original version appeared under the title The Colonial Cook Book the Recipes of a By gone Australia , edited by Alison Burt. Although now out of print, this partial facsimile edition is reasonably easy to come by from specialist second hand booksellers or in larger institutional libraries in Australia. While many reference Abbott s cookery book as the first official Australian cookbook, few have analyzed its contents. In his gastronomic history of Australia, Michael Symons often refers to the cookery book and its contents. He views it as a positive first step in the emerging Australian cuisine Australian culinary tradition , and laments that the book did not have more than one edition printed.

One primary focus of the book is a history of British English, from its Old English beginnings to Middle English , Early Modern English , and Modern English . Crystal also argues eloquently for the inclusion of dialects and non standard varieties of English. Even for the Old English period, he shows how the available evidence can be used to determine what dialectal variation existed. Finally, Crystal condemns what he sees as the over abundance of linguistic prescription in the study of English, especially that which existed from the 18th Century to the 20th. He speaks approvingly of the recent shift of focus in English language education away from prescriptivism.
