I will help you, and make you feel guilty...
The book should help both of us be more portion size aware and think about things before going the easy way when we are out for lunch. Sushi instead of Hungry Jacks!
One of the great things is that they have Ready Steady Cook here on Channel Ten, the host is a lot cheesier and more annoying than Ainsley but if they feature French chef Manu I can just about watch it as he takes the piss out of the host in that sly French way. His food is also good and he often goes on tirades about the 'Tasty' cheese they use here (It's a kind of cheddar type cheese that I think is only good enough to use on cheese toasties)
Australian food seems to me to be mostly fusion food (western mixed with Asian) they have a lot of fresh seafood, vegetables and fruit at their disposal so this choice makes sense. Thanks to all the people coming into the country there is a huge choice when it comes to restaurants, as for supermarkets you can find a lot of generic 'foreign' foods i.e. Old El Paso, Pataks curry pastes etc. You can sometimes find some variations on these at Delis. But what I miss most is gooey, smelly French cheese such as Epoisses and the like.
As it is I have been really happy and surprised at the variation of foods available here. Not having those 'luxury' goods at my disposal all the time is probably a good thing, making a trip home to France all the better!
