    Aussie farmer calls out Coles and Woolworths: ‘Farmers are just trying to pay their bills’

    This farmer, like so many others is one of the reasons why consumers have encountered the inflationary prices in the supermarket. So many farmers hold the view that as a primary producer they should be entitled to control prices at the shopping checkout. They do not have the background...

    Crack chicken so tasty

    This recipe has a a pretence of good food, except the recipe is written in a language not understood by most Australian ie inches, ounces, pounds (especially when "pounded"), 400F, "Ranch" cream cheese" etc. It is clear that the recipe is meant for the dubious palates of foreigners.

    Honey garlic prawns

    Oh! c'mon "Babybird", "cilantro or parsley". Most Australians can recognize that these are not alternative names for the same herb, but might wonder what on earth is "cilantro". We do not have such a thing here in Australia. Do you by some chance mean "coriander", a herb widely available in...
