Taste of Australia

Taste of Australia: A Journey Through Australian Cuisine

From the meat pie at the footy to the pavlova on the Christmas table, Australian food tells the story of a nation shaped by its land, its history, and its love of a good time with good company. Taste of Australia brings you 12 of the country's most iconic and beloved recipes — from the bush traditions of damper and kangaroo fillet to the bakery classics of lamingtons and Anzac biscuits, and the modern cafe culture Australia gave the world with smashed avo on toast.

Every recipe is written with step-by-step clarity and genuine chef's tips that explain the why behind the technique — like the slow oven-cooling that keeps a pavlova crisp outside and marshmallow-soft within, or the trick to perfectly crispy barramundi skin.

Whether you're chasing a taste of home, exploring native Australian ingredients for the first time, or just looking for the ultimate excuse to chuck another prawn on the barbie — this is the collection that captures the real Australia, from the outback to the coast.

12 authentic recipes include: Meat Pie · Pavlova · Barramundi with Lemon Butter · Anzac Biscuits · Lamingtons · Prawns on the Barbie · Tim Tam Cheesecake · Damper · Chiko Roll · Smashed Avo on Toast · Kangaroo Fillet with Bush Tomato Chutney · Wattleseed & Macadamia Cookies

Good on ya — the table is set.
