I'm really excited to tell you that today I officially became the About.com Guide to Australian & New Zealand Food.
In my new role I'll cook traditional and modern Aussie/Kiwi recipes and write reviews and articles on all things food.
On my guide site, you can discover how to get the most out of your barbecue, how to cook a great lamb roast, or find out how to make the perfect Pavlova with easy step-by-step photos.
But Aussie food isn't just all Pavlovas and Meat Pies (although there is a pretty delicious steak and mushroom pie waiting there for you). Australian & Kiwi cuisine has evolved into some of the most innovative and exciting in the world. Australian chefs and restaurants are constantly pushing boundaries, winning awards and dazzling taste buds.
The picture above is a little taste of some of my recipes. There's a Kumara and Crab Bisque, the humble Lamington, Macadamia Nut Pesto, Thai Chicken Sausage Rolls, Barbecued Prawns and a Passionfruit Soufflé.
Taste Buddies will continue as usual. From time to time, though, I will feature something delicious from the new site on Taste Buddies.
I hope you enjoy it!
Gosh it has been forever since I've had a (good) lamington. The site sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out! :)

Congratulations! Australian food is indeed very interesting because it has been so widely influenced by other cuisines. I'm looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things you come up with.

Congrats...the Thai Chicken Sausage Rolls look fantabulously delish. :)
By the way, Yong Tow Foo is like "Yen Tofu" (Thai Version), but the Malaysian, especially KL's versions are THE BEST, really. You have to go to KL, I will hook you up with all the best eats. :)

Thanks Laura! Time to have some more of those Lamingtons.
Hi Lisa. That's what I love so much about Australian food - its creativity with fusion cooking is some of the best I've tasted.
Thanks Bee! I was so envious of your food exploits. They looks fabulous!

Congratulations! Sounds like quite a fun gig.
Now... if about.com would only get rid of all of those annoying pop up ads!!!
