Fairy Bread

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Fairy Bread well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The clean and straightforward base was authentic and the use of Vegemite showed real knowledge. Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural influences and developed a distin…

You can taste history in Fairy Bread if you know what to look for. Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural influences and developed a distinct contemporary style. The subtly sweet with native fruits character reflects those layers — Anzac oats doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specifi…

I spent an afternoon making Fairy Bread from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting bush tucker wattle seed right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks.
