About

This special module is directed at the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, whilst being highly relevant across all homes. We explore with Maggie the ‘Native Larder’ from seed to table and discuss the flavours, aromas and cultural significance of traditional bush foods, which have provided sustenance for centuries. We also discuss the relationship that First Nations people have with the land, rivers and seas, and how their knowledge of sustainable practices and respect for the environment ensured a continuous supply of food. There is a growing interest in the benefits and uses of Australian native ingredients as they become more accessible... and there are many ways we can include these foods in everyday cooking that will bring pleasure, especially to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait elders.

Our role

We worked alongside Maggie Beer and her Foundation team to create four delicious recipes.
