Australia Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our US/UK/AU/CA giveaway to win a copy of Australia: The Cookbook by Ross Dobson.

From our April 27th post on Australian news Roberta wrote: “Is there such a thing as Australian cuisine? It’s been a question we’ve grappled with for a long time. As an ancient land with a recent modern history that combines a cultural melting pot from so many nations, how do we define Australian food? Phaidon has recently attempted to address this question with Australia – The Cookbook. Including some beautiful photography of Australia’s spectacularly diverse landscape, it covers everything from the indigenous ingredients cultivated and harvested by Australia’s original inhabitants, through the food of our colonial heritage and the many and varied contributions of successive waves of immigrants (from the chow mien introduced by 19th century Chinese gold miners to more recent Vietnamese pho and the Italian ‘spag bol’ and Greek moussaka that arrived in between), to the now ubiquitous smashed avo on toast. It’s all here and well worth a leisurely read.”

    I call it a Thai My Kangaroo Down Salad, boom boom, so very pleased to see this in a cookbook. I’d be making Ross’s published version first up from this tome,because it is the most delicious and healthy appropriation of one cuisine to another place.. and as a Queenslander the ingredients are pretty much in season 90% of the year.
