Let’s go for the big breakfast

There is something very Australian about chucking all the good things into a frying pan in the morning and then serving it on thick toast. Right? Anyone else dreaming of lazy Sundays at home, or big weekends at the local café? We like eggs and bacon on toast. It’s as simple as that. Sneh from Cook Republic goes for a tasty combination of Kransky, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, herbs, and of course eggs.

For lunch the Aussie way

Donna Hay’s Lamb, Mint, and Rosemary Pies

The meat pie. A quintessential Aussie dish. But let’s be honest, they’re a whole lot better when you make them at home, or someone makes them in their home and gives them to you. No disrespect to the old Four & Twenty. Donna Hay, in true Donna style takes the meat pie and makes it a little more fancy. Here she mixes lamb, mint, and rosemary for a beautiful spin on the classic.
