Taste Australia

Against a charming backdrop of personal memories and cultural snippets, Melbourne-born Richard Bradfield takes us beyond the cliches of shrimp-laden barbecues toward a fresh understanding of how Australians eat. Brought to life with stunning photography by Simon Griffiths, one of Australia's leading food photographers, Taste Australia serves up Australia's unique take on fusion food for the delectation of the global village. Recipes include scrumptious breakfast ideas such as a fry-up on authentic Outback Damper Bread, Atlantic Salmon on Sweet Onion Rice Congee, and Apple and Nutmeg Rosti. Australia's ethnic diversity is celebrated with a fresh take on old favourites such as Lamb Kefta with Tzatziki and Raisin Couscous while paying homage to Australia's eternal love affair with seafood: try the Chilled Crayfish on Pea Salad or the Pan-Fried Salmon on Tahitian Salad. Taste Australia also includes home-grown treats such as Lamingtons and the ever popular ANZAC biscuit. Richard Bradfield's Taste Australia will make a wonderful contribution to any kitchen, to be enjoyed by lovers of food and Australia alike.
