Description
For many years the Home Economists from the gas companies across Australia have been held in high esteem by Australians for their innovative culinary skills. The Australian Gas Cookbook – The Bicentennial Edition is the creation of the Home Economists from those organisations. It is a beautifully produced cookbook of more than 80 colour photographs and over 300 mouth-watering recipes taken from Australia’s cultural past and present. The wide variety of foods which form part of our daily meals are featured. These recipes are based in the English tradition and enlivened by the addition of exotic dishes from around the world, reflecting Australia’s now multicultural community. The Australian Gas Cookbook presents recipes which will please the most exacting gourmet, whilst providing hints and clues which ensure perfection. Each recipe has been thoroughly tested in the gas companies’ test kitchens. There are starters, soups and entrees to stimulate the appetite. Main courses to satisfy can be easily found in the sections on poultry, lamb, beef, pork and ham, or from the veal, seafood, game and vegetarian sections. These can be accompanied by your choice from the wide array of salads and vegetables. Follow with one of the desserts, pastries, biscuits or cakes to finish the meal. A variety of menu suggestions is included to assist in planning for entertaining family or friends. ‘Casual Cuisine’ caters for outdoor eating, picnics and breakfast and brunch, and there are some wonderful suggestions for gifts and preserves, together with an exciting selection of food for children of all ages.
