About this deal

Food writers such as John Newton (The Oldest Foods on Earth, 2016), Vic Cherikoff (The Bush Food Handbook, 1997) and Jean-Paul Bruneteau (Tukka: Real Australian Food, 1996), as well as chefs such as Sydney’s Peter Gilmore (of Quay fame) – none of them First Nations people – edged the conversation towards the mainstream, along with many pioneers in the agricultural industry. Hurrah for this landmark book, which combines Adnyamathanha man Damien Coulthard’s cultural knowledge with Rebecca Sullivan’s interest in the local food economy and a desire to feed her family well. Both authors show you how to buy, grow, cook and eat from the amazing pantry on our doorstep. When the rice is ready and starting to sizzle, add the white pepper, salt, sugar and MSG (if using) and stir through. Add the spring onion and cook for 1 minute or so before serving.

To make part 1, use a pair of sharp kitchen scissors to cut the dried chillies into small pieces. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan and fry the chillies and peppercorns over low heat until they are fragrant and the chillies have turned a deep red. Keep moving the chillies and be extremely careful not to burn them. Allow to cool, then crush using a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl. For many of us, our culinary knowledge of native ingredients is still limited – this book fixes thatThey say the key to a perfect omelette is the right technique and a lot of patience. If we're talking about the French omelette, that is absolutely right. By this definition, a perfect omelette has a pale and even yellow colour, with no signs of caramelisation. While the surface of the omelette is perfectly set, the centre is just underdone, giving way to a custardy interior when sliced open. Perfection, as they say. To make the spice mix, place all of the ingredients in a small frying pan and toast over low heat until very fragrant, taking care not to burn the chilli flakes. If the ingredients become too dark, start again. Set aside to cool, then blitz into a fine powder using a food processor. Sometimes, the stories we want to tell of our lives are too long to be spoken, but they’re easily eaten.”

Rosheen says she owes her love of cooking and Chinese food to the meals her parents made at home. These days they're surprised by the familiar flavours they find in Rosheen's dishes when eating in her restaurant. Remove the omelette from the wok and drain on paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Serve with sliced green spring onion and steamed rice. Picture the scene: a teacher brings fresh fruit and vegetables into a school classroom, and the children talk and write about what they see, smell, touch, even hear, as it is peeled and sliced open. They are not forced to taste but, invariably, after discussing and drawing the produce, they decide to try. This is Taste Ed: a countrywide “food literacy” initiative.I’ve chosen a recipe for you that seemed to me an excellent introduction to the food in this happy-making book: Burnt Spring Onion Oil Noodles, just perfect for when you need a simple but richly flavoured solo supper.
