There are many delicious and nutritious dishes in Australia that are irresistible for anyone who visits this country.

Best Easy Australian Food Recipes – Best Recipes Ever:

Historically, the Australian cuisine is based on British cuisine which was brought to this country by the first settlers. These include cakes, big size or chopped steaks, and the meat coming with some kinds of herbs (this combination is often called the “meat and 3 vegetables”).

These original foods were overwhelmed by the growing emphasis on multi-national culture occurred in Australia in the past 40-50 years, the cuisine of Australia is now influenced by the variety of food culinary from the Mediterranean and Asian immigrants. The British tradition still exists in varying degrees in the shops which sell instant, ready meals (takeaway food dishes), with the pieces of fish and chips, is still popular.
