Good Food From Australia

By Betsy Newman and Graeme Newman

Take a culinary adventure to "the land down under" with Good Food from Australia! From the famous Vegemite Sandwich to grilling on the "barbie," the authors provide a generous collection of over 150 genuine Australian favorites. Start off with Egg and Bacon Pie (what real Australian men eat!), then sample some hearty Pocket Steak Melbourne or Dandenong Rabbit Pie, with a side of Victoria Salad, and top it all off with a slice of Maisie's Chocolate Peppermint Cake. You can even learn to drink a "cuppa tea" and a beer like a real Aussie! Reflecting the great variety and range of Australian cooking, some of the sections included in this cookbook are: "The Australian Melting Pot," "Steaks, Chops, and Snags," "Casseroles and Curries, "Cookies and Slices," and of course, "Outback Cooking." From the exotic and outlandish--Kangaroo Tail Soup and Fried Tiger Snake- to tried and true favorites like Hamburger Hot Pot and Banana Tea Cake, give your cooking some real Australian flavor with these unique recipes, specially adapted for the American kitchen.
