What we’re reading

Award-winning First Nations Food Companion by Damien Coulthard and Rebecca Sullivan

“A groundbreaking celebration of the most accessible and popular Australian native ingredients and their uses in the everyday home kitchen. We know more about pine nuts than bunya nuts, kale than warrigal greens, but there’s an edible pantry of unique flavours that First Nations people have been making the most of long before anyone came up with the word ‘foodie’.
Welcome to a food-lover’s guidebook to the First Foods of this continent. Including an informative guide to more than 60 of the most accessible Indigenous ingredients, including their flavour profiles, along with tips for how to buy, grow and store them.”
