"Nice and AUS-sy Does It"
|
Our family moved to Australia in 2002. Aside from the fact that I am now mates (and nearly as _____) as Hugh Jackman, Keith Urban, and Chris Hemsworth 😂; I come to enjoy the clean and friendly vibes of Melbourne and the easy Aussie lifestyle. Especially when it comes to food, Aussie cooking is fresh, easy-peasy, and Aussie-licious 🥰. And to show how easy Aussie cooking really is: I'll be cooking with my grandson Sandro: who is 3 years old, loves grandpa, birds, and good food.For this segment we will cook:
- Tomato, Arugula, and Goat Cheese Salad (7 minutes)
- 2-way Veggie and Cheese Pizza (15 minutes)
- Steak (10 minutes)
- Lemon and Lime Cheesecake (15 minutes)
- Watermelon Mocktail (10 minutes)
