Contemporary Australian food has its roots in our multicultural heritage … Incredible diversity in our food is now taken for granted …
Australian food has changed dramatically over the past 30 years. Not only have we modernised our own well-known, we have also embraced the foods and recipes of other countries adding our own twists and turning them into well-loved Australian favourites.
I have an enduring interest in how well the Australian table evidences culinary diversity. In particular how South Asian and South East Asian cuisines fare. One of the places to investigate this is in cookery books. This is an inventory of these cuisines in cookery books from 2011 – 2025.
