Things We Love: A Collection of Recipes and Stories from the Hancock and Kidman Pastoral Properties

Every country can be defined by the food they eat, and how they prepare and cook this food. The same is true for different states within many countries, or even down to particular regions. Food can capture the essence of a place and its people's personalities, whether optimistic, generous, bold, passionate, proud, disciplined, particular, creative, challenging; and the list goes on. Things We Love richly captures the unique and powerful personality of those wonderful people who make up Australia's cattle station region; that vast, rugged and unforgiving wilderness.

The recipes and stories in this book bring alive the optimistic, resilient, sharing, enterprising, self-confident, risk-taking, creative and proud free spirits that characterise cattle station communities. The culinary treats within will tempt your tastebuds, from classic casseroles, curries and stir-fries to salads, pies, sweets and treats, this beautiful book is a treasure trove of flavours and country tales.
