Australian Vintage Recipes

Australian Cuisine is not just all beer & meat pies, mate!

If you thought that Australian cuisine basically boils down to beer, wine, chops, snags (sausages), barbies (barbecues) and meat pies with tomato sauce (ketchup), then think again. If you're looking for Mulligatawny or Cock-A-Leekie soup recipes, a quick Oysters and Macaroni lunch recipe, or you fancy cooking a bonza dish of sheep's tongues in tomato sauce, or even calf's food salad for your bloke or missus, then you've come to the right place.

Aussies are a very hardy and resourceful bunch. We have even "Australianized" foreign dishes such as French Soup and American Fish and found new ways of serving Italian food (see our "Macaroni Pudding" recipe for an example). In this vintage recipe series, we provide you with some great tasting Aussie recipes for soups, fish, meat dishes, vegie dishes, salads, sauces and sweets that will make you sit up and say "you beaut!" ...

Editor's note: during our initial edit of these recipes, we started to remove the prices assigned to some of the ingredients in the recipes listed below, as they were written in old and now long obsolete Australian currency. After editing about 20 soup recipes or so, we then decided to leave all recipes in their original format, not just for historical reference, but also because it was suggested to us that some of our readers who are interested in the economics of cooking may be interested in researching and comparing the cost of ingredients back then and now.

Australian Cuisine

Historically Australian cuisine was based on traditional British cooking brought to the country by the first settlers. This generally consisted of pies, roasted cuts of meat, grilled steak and chops, chicken and other forms of meat generally accompanied by vegetables (the combination known colloquially as "meat and three veg") such as potatoes, beans, peas, and carrots (often served soggy or overcooked).

These origins have been mostly overtaken by the growing multicultural emphasis of Australian culture over the last forty to fifty years, with Australian cuisine now influenced by a variety of Mediterranean and Asian immigrant foods. British traditions still persist to varying degrees but moreso in takeaway food with pies, fish and chips as popular as American burgers in this market sector.

A native Australian cuisine movement has also emerged, evolving out of the Australian themed restaurants of the mid-1980s. The discovery of the spice-like qualities of many native Australian plant ingredients formed the basis of a gourmet cuisine. This contrasted with the Bush tucker or foraged food unfamiliar to gourmands and foodies.
