How Victoria cooks
Victoria's food runs from Melbourne's Italian, Greek, Vietnamese and Chinese kitchens through the dairy and vegetable country of Gippsland, the orchards of the Yarra Valley, the seafood of the Mornington Peninsula and the wheat and sheep farms of the Western District. Suburban bakeries and family cooking matter here as much as café culture.
