Australias Food Today My 50 Family Favourites

Being an Australian kid all those years ago, food seemed to be a fairly simple thing, our signature dishes back then were stews and roast lamb and bangers (sausages) and mash. But you know what, they all tasted great. I remember being fascinated, watching my mother and grandmother cooking in their kitchens. Whether it be scones being hand mixed in a bowl or just the simple art of peeling a potato, there seemed to be something almost magical about the process. A lot has changed over those many years except my passion for creating and tasting great food. Australian food has evolved a lot in the past couple of decades, with our fabulous multicultural society sharing recipes and ideas for food that has transformed the Australian dinner table into a restaurant in every home. I hope you enjoy cooking and eating some of my favourite family recipes as much as I do. Thank you for choosing my book. Regards, John Stephens
