Australasia
Australasia offers a unique blend of culinary contributions due to its vast immigration and resulting integration of cultures from around the world, including a diverse Aboriginal demographic and Asian influences. The region is vibrant in its diversity, identifying with almost three-hundred different ancestries. The region’s history comes through in its outlook and treatment of food. Native botanicals are incorporated into everyday dishes, underlining high respect for the planet’s natural resources. It is a region that celebrates the values and heritage of Aboriginal communities, drawing inspiration from the stories behind them. Australia is a nation of migrants. In fact, more than one in four Australians was born overseas, adding diversity to not only the country, but to the cookbooks that you’ll find on household shelves.
