To put food at the heart of summer, you must make time to plan for it. Especially when you put food at the heart of it. No matter how many times we complain it's "too hot", "too humid" and the grass is "too dry", most Aussies agree that summer is a lot of fun. Notice a recurring theme yet? Our favourite foods are best enjoyed in summer. Think of steak sandwiches, fresh salads, mango salsa, grilled fish and pine lime splice. Think of your favourite Aussie foods and you'll no doubt be taken back to prawns on the beach, backyard barbecues and layers of soft meringue, cream and fruit by the pool. Our attachment to these classics suggests that it's the simpler things that take our fancy and that Aussies love foods that reflect our laid back lifestyle. Australians lay claim to a lot of wonderful creations, from pavlova and lamingtons to Chiko rolls, sausage sangers, weetbix and meat pies.
