In recent times, Australia has become a culinary tourism destination par excellence. It has a growing stable of celebrity chefs, dedicated foodies and passionate producers along with committed marketers and promoters of the food industry. From this position Australian celebrity chefs, Vic Cherikoff and I have hosted events, food festivals, corporate events, trade shows, cooking classes, celebrity chef appearances and Australian Government functions right around the world in hotels, resorts, restaurants and cruise ships.
Australia is known for its wines, olive oil, seafood, lamb, beef, yabbies and cheeses – clean and green produce of all sorts. Yet there is a secret even Australians themselves are only just discovering: We have the beginnings of an authentic Australian cuisine, one based on the rare, unique and distinctive ingredients indigenous to our country and now being worked into a national fusion food style and even tailored with regional specialties.
This emerging cuisine is modern in style and sophisticated in both, the level of food service and also the nature of the produce. The challenge since the industry was started back in the early 1980s by Vic Cherikoff with his commercialisation of a selection of wild species, has been to re-develop the raw produce into chef-friendly seasonings, mixes, sauces, syrups, preserves, extracts, juices and more. However, it remains the domain of celebrity chefs to disseminate the knowledge of to what the ingredients most compare, what peculiarities they have in use and the wide range of possible applications they have.
