Recipes From Australia



Australia’s cuisine is mainly influenced by the British; however, with the immigration of people from Europe and Asia, the country’s gastronomy has been greatly broadened. Australia produces a bounty of fruits, vegetables, fish, seafood, and meat, as well as herbs and spices introduced by other cultures. Chutneys, pickles, and spicy sauces are often served with meals, and Australians love to eat outdoors, enjoying barbecued meats or fresh fish with vegetables and fruits.
