Australian Recipes

For many years, meals in Australia were based on traditional British cuisine introduced to the country by settlers from the United Kingdom. Commonly such meals were based around roasted or grilled meat, or pies, and accompanied by vegetables.

Today, British traditions do persist, especially in the takeaway food sector, but a variety of new dishes have also been introduced. These include dishes inspired by Mediterranean and Asian recipes (in large part due to increased immigration from these countries), "Bush tucker" (foraged food, often based on aboriginal traditional foods), and new recipes based around uniquely Australian plants.

Some uniquely Australian foods include:

Vegemite - A salty paste based on yeast extract and served in sandwiches or on toast.
Chiko roll - A deep-fried snack inspired by Chinese spring rolls. Chiko rolls contain a spiced mixture of mutton, barley, cabbage, carrots, and celery.
Damper - A wheat-based soda bread traditionally made by outback travellers.
Pie floater - A meat pie, covered with tomato sauce, and placed (usually upside-down) in thick green pea soup.
ANZAC biscuit (New Zealand also claims to the be the origin of this recipe) - Biscuits made from rolled oats, coconut and syrup.
Pavlova (New Zealand also claims to the be the origin of this recipe) - A dessert meringue. It has a crispy exterior, but is light and fluffy inside.
Lamingtons - Sponge cake, cubed, and topped with chocolate icing and dessicated coconut. Sometimes they are cut into two halves, and a layer of cream or strawberry jam is placed between the halves.
Violet Crumble - A chocolate bar containing a honeycomb-like center.
Jaffas - An orange-flavored candy containing a soft chocolate center.
Tim Tam - A malted chocolate biscuit with a cream-like filling.

JAMES BEARD AWARD FINALIST
Winner of the 2018 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in Innovation for Australia

Bringing rich flavors to the great outdoors, this mouthwatering collection of recipes by Sarah Glover evokes the sights, smells, and tastes of the Australian wilderness.

Sarah Glover loves to cook, whether it's on the edge of a windswept cliff, in a clearing in the forest, or on a sandy stretch of beach. Although she's made a career as a chef in Australia and New York City, her heart lives outdoors. Filled with gorgeous photographs from the shores of Tasmania and beaches of Sydney to the mountains of Australia's east coast, this cookbook shares her recipes and secrets to inspire others to cook and eat outside. She offers tips for preparing food over an open flame as well as a list of basic outdoor cooking equipment. Anyone who thinks camping food begins and ends with coffee and toasted marshmallows will be surprised to discover how easy it is to create a stunning four-course meal with a few pots and one fire. From solid staples like tender roast chicken and potatoes to dinner-party-worthy kumquat bellinis and quail with truffles, Glover sets the stage for any kind of outdoor experience. Her recipes are simple and straightforward--often involving only a handful of ingredients--and her instructions are breezy and clear. Whether it's a quiet retreat in nature or a dawn-to-dusk beach party, Sarah Glover has a menu that will satisfy your hunger for fresh, modern food eaten in the great outdoors.
