As a nation, we’ve enthusiastically embraced flavours from all over the globe – cumin and coriander from India, ginger and kaffir lime from Thailand, cinnamon from the Middle East, oregano and sage from Greece and Italy – but what about the flavours that define the very land we live on? River mint, wattleseed, cinnamon myrtle, bush tomato, warrigal greens... In contrast to flavours and ingredients from abroad, Native Australian foods are rarely seen in shopping baskets and on restaurant menus.
