Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, but much more chic. This elegant menu is all celebration, without the beer chasers.

A refined riff on the Australia Day gathering, this three course meal is relaxed by elegant. Stick with a few key Australian ingredients, and a couple of classics, and cook lunch for your people.

The Starter

Yabbies are a proud Australian product, and so why fire a few up on the national day of the year?

Drinks writer Mike Bennie says, “Try some of Australia’s most iconic wine styles to match up with these dishes – Hunter Valley semillon and a light but flavoursome Barossa shiraz come to mind.”

Drink match: Hunter Valley semillon (try Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon)

The Main

Lamb cutlets done with Australia’s favourite meat accompaniment. We add beetroot to burgers, we juice it incessantly, and now let’s have it with lamb.

Drink match: Barossa Valley Shiraz (try First Drop Mother’s Milk Shiraz)

The Dessert

Put the pavlova and the lamington down. This iconic dessert is named after yet another Australian icon.
