Flavors of Asia and Australasia

Asia and Australasia contain virtually half the world’s population and examples of most of the Earth’s geography, so it’s perhaps unsurprising that very few culinary opportunities are left unexplored among this melange of interconnected cultures and climates. Spices dominate the foods of Asia, but are used to flavor a huge range of cuisines with distinctive styles. Australasia has combined these with its European heritage to concoct a unique range of Pan-Asian dishes.
