To prepare the fish, we lightly coat it with a mixture of white plain flour, ground coriander, and a hint of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat.

4. Aussie meat pies
There’s no culinary symbol more quintessentially Australian than the beloved meat pie. While Chiko Rolls and lamingtons may contend for attention, sinking your teeth into a piping hot meat pie is an experience that screams Aussie. Pies epitomize convenience, harking back to the days when miners would tote pasties underground for a quick, hearty lunch or a snack enjoyed with a cold beer in hand.
While store-bought pies offer familiarity and comfort, nothing quite compares to the satisfaction of devouring homemade ones. Our meat pie recipe embodies all the essentials: a sturdy shortcrust base, a generous filling of thick beef and gravy, and golden, flaky puff pastry lids. But here’s the twist: we’ve infused our favorite recipe with a touch of another Australian icon – Vegemite. This subtle addition lends an umami kick that elevates the beefy flavor to new heights.
Prepare a double batch and stash these delectable meat pies in the freezer, ready to be popped into the oven or air fryer for a quick lunch, snack, or dinner.

6. Juicy and delicious Italian beef meatball recipe
Indulge in the succulent and flavorful goodness of our Italian-style meatballs recipe, destined to win over the hearts of your entire family. These tender gems can be savored in various ways – whether atop a bed of spaghetti, nestled within a pizza, or sandwiched in a hearty meatball sub.
Interestingly, many of the renowned Italian-inspired dishes we adore today actually originated in America, thanks to the creativity of Italian immigrants. While these dishes may have roots in traditional Italian cuisine, their adaptations in the States have left a lasting culinary legacy. Imagine a world without chicken parma, garlic bread, or the classic spaghetti and meatballs – it’s hard to fathom!
In Italy, pasta typically takes center stage as the first course (primo), with meatballs, known as polpette, served separately as the second course (secondi). However, the iconic pairing of oversized meatballs with spaghetti is distinctly American.
Not limited to spaghetti, these meatballs shine in a rich tomato sauce, perfect for pairing with creamy mashed potatoes, grilled polenta, or nestled within a crusty bread roll.
As for cooking methods, both frying and baking have their merits. Frying yields a delectable golden crust, while baking offers a more hands-off approach. Whichever method you choose, these meatballs are bound to steal the show with their irresistible flavor and versatility.
