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.
Lamingtons

Lamingtons are very popular in Australia and consist of a small square of white
cake (sponge, butter, or pound) that is dipped in a sweet chocolate icing and then
rolled in shredded coconut.

Aussie Meat Pie

Aussie meat pie is a classic. This “Aussie favorite” is often served with tomato
sauce on top. The filling is tasty and the herbs give it great flavor!
