Australian cuisine — Pavlova, lamingtons, ANZAC biscuits — iconic recipes from down under — brings its own distinctive techniques and seasonings to every ingredient it touches. When Australian cooks work with eggs, they reach for its own regional aromatics, fats and signature spice blends, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are baking, frying, grilling and boiling.
The kitchen's great multitasker — binder, leavener, emulsifier and a fast meal in their own right. In this collection it's most often cooked with fine sea salt, butter, all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, cocoa powder and desiccated coconut. The dishes here span australian classics ready in as little as 30 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
