Australia

Not surprisingly, the world’s largest island country produces loads of seafood. The stereotype is shrimp (called “prawns” Down Under) on the barbie. But there’s also uniquely Australian sea creatures like yabbies (freshwater lobsters), Moreton Bay bug (or Bay lobster), barramundi (a delicate white fish), and trevalla (Antarctic butterfish). Increasingly, modern Australian chefs are cooking with indigenous ingredients, including kangaroo, quandong (desert peach), and emu. Established initially as a British penal colony in the 1780s, Australia has attracted immigrants from all over Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The result has been an upswing in Mediterranean- and Asian-focused fusion cooking. Still some traditions never die. Fish and chips, meat pies, and sausage rolls remain important fast foods. Served with “the lot,” an Australian hamburger includes beetroot, a fried egg, and pineapple. Australia is also the fourth largest wine producer in the world, renowned for making big, ripe reds.

Polly Welby's Excellent Chocolate Mousse

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2009 by SnackyCakes 
Simple and absolutely delicious!!!! I followed Josie's Mom's tip of folding the whipped cream into the chocolate and it worked a treat! It was a little dense (I may have over whipped the cream) but still fantastic. If you have these two ingredients it's perfect for a sudden craving as it's so quick to make! Thank you!

Prosciutto Parmesan Pasta

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2009 by vanessa 
way too salty, sauce too thin and prosciutto too overpowering and i only used 1/4 pound as opposed to the half pound it calls for. i used broccoli instead of peas because peas are disgusting (IMO). the broccoli was the only saving grace of this dish. i think ill just stick to Alfredo when i want a white sauced pasta dish.

Fragrant Chicken Curry

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2009 by Mrs Possum 08 
Thank you for a quick and healthy recipe. We loved this dish, serving with mango chutney and coriander really brought the flavours to life. I did not have ground cloves so added turmeric, cumin and ground coriander to my spice mix. For flavouring toward the end of cooking I added soya sauce and some honey with ginger pieces in it. I discarded the skin from my chicken befor adding the meat to the curry. I also bulked up the curry with chopped celery, capsicum (red and green) and some potatoes. Had quite a few extra vegies to use up thid weekend. Will definitely make this again
