You cannot have a Australian recipe month without the humble meat pie. This hand size meat and gravy filled pastry is so perfect that it’s even celebrated in Australian folk songs: ‘Meat pie and tomato sauce, same again for the second course’. The meat pie was described by former New South Wales Premier Bob Carr in […]

Recipe of the Week: Cheesy Vegemite Twists
- by YLC Stockholm
- 13 Jan 2013
It is said that over 90% of Australian households have a jar of Vegemite in the pantry. I, for one, am surprised it’s not more but most of the rest of the world can’t understand why. Vegemite is a dark brown paste made from yeast extract left over from the production of beer. It is […]

- by YLC Stockholm
- 6 Jan 2013
The Pavlova was named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. It is said to be first made for her during her tour of Australasia in 1926, either because of her love of meringue or because the light, airy dessert reminded one of her beautiful dancing. Despite the fact that all Australians grow up believing this […]

Recipe of the Week: Christmas – Kapustnica (Slovak Republic)
- by YLC Stockholm
- 2 Dec 2012
A festive soup made with dried plums, sausage, mushrooms and pork! I recommend that you leave the soup for at least 1-2 days after it’s cooked so that it gains in depth and flavour. The secret to this recipe is the sauerkraut, shredded cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. It has […]
