ARE YOU A MASTER/MKR CHEF FAN?

From mutton to Masterchef, “A timeline of Australian food” is a fascinating look at what Australians used to eat.  It’s always good to know a bit of history.  Did you know macarons debuted on Masterchef in 2009?  In 2011 84% of Australians didn’t know how long it took to boil an egg!
