The May 24 Edition
I'm always mildly amused when food critics – usually the overseas kind – airily dismiss the notion of an Australian cuisine. It's such a Euro-centric criticism. Apart from the fact Indigenous people developed their own richly varied cuisine here for more than 50,000 years, modern Australian cuisine has evolved into one of the most diverse in the world, reflecting our rich cultural mix – although it wouldn't hurt if we took more creative and commercial risks with our abundance of native foods. For quality of produce, for variety of high-calibre restaurants and truly brilliant wines, you can't go past Australia. Our food and wine edition this year is jam-packed with features. My favourites? Andrew Hornery's story on Australia's queen of pickles, and Dani Valent's ode to wheat and the joy of fresh bread. But you won't want to miss Huon Hooke's and The Real Review's list of the 20 Best Wineries in Australia and our Six Best Wines – something to keep for future weekends away. – Greg Callaghan, acting editor
