Présentation de l'éditeur
Vegemite is perhaps Australia's most enduring cultural icon. But how did this pungent, salty, black paste, which for many Australians is how they start the day, come to be created? The Man Who Invented Vegemite is the story of Cyril Callister, a passionate scientist and innovator, as told by his grandson, Jamie Callister. Cyril was sent to England during WWI and in the 1920s was employed by Kraft, charged with the task of creating a substance that would, in time, be named Vegemite. His story is inextricably bound with that of Australia through the first half of the twentieth century, through two world wars and the Depression. In The Man Who Invented Vegemite, Jamie Callister sets out to learn more about the grandfather he never met and, along the way, discovers that extraordinary things can happen to (almost) ordinary people. Key points: Australia's most identifiable cultural icon; nostalgia and sentiment for times past; snapshot of the first 50 years of the twentieth century; biography written by a family member - unprecedented access to materials and participation/assistance of Kraft for archive materials
