We are thrilled to be On the Road with the Today show and the Commonwealth Bank — after all, our food comes from regional Australia, and that’s what we deal with all day and every day in The Australian Women’s Weekly food department. Throughout the year, we’ll find out what’s special about the towns and regions we visit (including what they grow best) and each month we’ll develop a Road Train recipe based on what we find.
Along the way, we’ll also be demonstrating from our world famous cookbooks and collecting YOUR recipes along the way. What a year we have ahead.
See you on the road.

These recipes were cooked on the road by Lyndey Milan with product entirely sourced minutes before so they have not gone through the usual Test Kitchen process. The idea was to use what was on hand and show the audience how such products could be used immediately and without hours of preparation. We salute all the farmers who manage to keep producing despite the drought. Thank you for our food!
