A couple of weeks ago I received a wonderful surprise in the mail, all the way from Australia! Michelle Moon of the Australia Cookbook Collectors Society sent me a most beautiful cookbooks with photography by Ken Duncan, a well known Australian Photographer, and recipes by Valwyn McMonigal. She said she had picked it up at a yard sale and the condition is excellent. It is such a nice book, not only with the beautiful countryside photos but also the unique recipes throughout.
There are recipes for crocodile, kangoroo, buffalo, Wattle Seed, Yabbies, Aussie Meat Pie, Anzac Biscuits (yum!), Barramndi with Orange Sauce, Lamingtons (another yum!), and others. The food photos are very appetizing and the recipes sound simple and easy to make. There are sections for different parts of Australia, such as Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, The Northern Territory and Queensland.
The photos remind me the Pacific Coast and also the Southwestern part of the USA. Australia is a beautiful and vibrant place and I would love to visit and try this food first hand! Between the recipes and the photos, this cookbook is hard to put down.
