Innovation in Australian Cuisine

Australia has been and is still known for its famous and greatest treasures, Ayers Rock, the Great Barrier Reef, The Gold Coast, and the Sydney Opera House.

Of Australia's wonderful treasures, its excellent food is Australia’s hottest and newest global attraction.

In response to tourism and the increase takers of travel visas to Australia, Australia’s modernistic chefs have worked very hard to create a regional cuisine using the most amazingly fresh food.  These foods are aimed to be enjoyed without causing a great damage to one’s budget and can be eaten with an amazing selection of world class locally produced wines.

Steak on the barbie, overcooked peas and carrots, forget meat pies, mashed potatoes, and lettuce drowned in malt vinegar and washed down with beer were the old Australian cuisine once.

The fresh and innovative Australian cuisine now is nothing less than a lively celebration of flavor, variety, freshness, and innovation. It complements the country's many outstanding wineries and is the result of the country’s growing ethnic diversity and of its close proximity to Asia.

A classic menu at any restaurant may consist of Turkey liver and Mountain Pepper pate, grilled Kangaroo fillet with Muntrie glaze paired with red wine and sweet potato chips, fresh garden salad sprinkled with a dressing made from local Olive Oil and Red Wine Vinegar and then choices of dessert of Lemon Myrtle curd tart, Kangaroo Island clotted cream and Lamington served with strawberry jam with desiccated coconut as topping, then complemented with a glass of excellent mellow shiraz or a crisp fruity chardonnay. The wine must have almost certainly been produced from the vineyards surrounding the town you are dining in, the red wine having been mellowed in the autumn sun, and the whites displaying the crisp fruity style of the valley such as The Olive Grove Chardonnay.

However, it is important to remember that Innovative Australian cuisine is not far removed from other International food cultures as such.

Innovative Australian cuisine brings us the diverse menus that are found in pubs and clubs all around the country.

We have spoken to Chicago chef Charlie Trotter who visited Melbourne. He said that he was blown away by the culinary community that he has encountered.

Likewise, Trotters say that Australia has a very, very exhilarating food scene.

According to Megghen Driscol, spokeswoman for Southcorp Wines North America, an Australian-owned wine producer and distributor in Monterey, California, the buzzword in Sydney right now is `Mod-Oz,' for Modern Oz," meaning modern Australian cuisine.
