Australian Bush Food

Australian cuisine has many influences - especially British, Irish, Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern and Asian - which colour our perception of what is Australian eating.

But, there is an Australian menu available to us all, and it is based on ingredients found in our own bush and rainforests. There are a growing number of restaurants serving meats, vegetables and fruits sourced from native resources, and as well there are now suppliers able to provide regular ingredients for the enterprising home or travelling cook.

Not all native foods will be to your liking, but experiment with these basic bush food recipes to discover which will appeal to your taste buds!
