This collection of resources highlights the influence of Asian food on the cuisine of Australia. A number of the texts, including Noodle Pie, Thai-riffic and The Punjabi Pappadum recount the perceived difficulties and sometimes the real embarrassments suffered by Asian-Australian young people because of different attitudes to the food they eat. There are also a number of movie clips on chefs who travel to the land of their heritage and introduce viewers, not only to the food, but also the landscape and the people.
