The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating is a food selection guide which visually represents the proportion of the five food groups recommended for consumption each day. As shown in the image below Grains and Vegetables should take up 1/2 of ones diet with Lean meats, Dairy and Fruit taking up the rest. As can also be seen in the image at the bottom of the screen it recommends food such as oils, junk foods and fats be used only in small proportions.

Examples of dutch originated ingredients include: Herring, Braadworst, Sauerkraut, carrots, kale, endive, hagelslag and cheeses such as: gouda, edam, leyden, maasdam etc… These many ingredients can be found in most average supermarkets in Australia either just amongst normal stock on the shelves or in international aisles. A lot of these ingredient are also used for cooking our daily meals here in Australia.

Some other food items that have originated from the Netherlands include spices like: Mace, Nutmeg, Cloves and Cinnamon. These spices were introduced to countries like Australia during the spice trade occurring in the 15th century. The spice trade mainly came from Western Europe (where the Netherlands are located). The rise of the Ottoman Empire restricted European access to spice routes. In response to this, European explorers sought other seafaring options to the East (where Australia is located). The first known discoverer of Australia was Dutch explorer “Willem Janszoon” who landed in Australia in 1606. In the 17th century 29 other Dutch explorers explored the coasts of Australia. It can then be assumed that these spices were introduced throughout both of these events.

As well as Dutch ingredients and spices some Dutch recipes have also been integrated over to Australia and are made at home, in restaurants/cafes and can also be found at markets. Examples of these recipes include: Spekulaas, Poffertjes, Olliebollen and Snert just to name a few.  These recipes have also accumulated different names depending on where in the world you are eating for example Snert in some countries is called split pea soup. As well as getting new name they have also been adapted to either include extra ingredients or exclude previous existing ingredients. Traditional Snert is made with pork, however in some countries it has been adapted to include different meats as well as pork or to replace the pork with another meat. Another adaptation made to Snert is to have it meatless and just as pea soup.

A Dutch oven is thick-walled (usually cast iron but also ceramic and clay) cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. In 1704 a man by the name of Abraham Darby traveled from England to Holland to inspect a Dutch casting process by which brass vessels where cast in dry sand molds.  When he returned to England he experimented with the process and eventually created a casting process using a better type of molding sand as well as a process of baking the mold to improve casting smoothness.  Darby eventually began casting pots and shipping them to the new colonies and throughout the world. It is assumed that the name "Dutch Oven" may have derived from the original Dutch process for casting metal pots.

In summary, Dutch cuisine has made an impact on Australian food and cuisine, however not a large one. Many Dutch ingredients and recipes can be found all over Australia. With having the option to cook with these foreign foods, Australians now have more options on how to become healthier and meet the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating.

The dutch oven is now a popular cooking method for many dishes around the world. Originally the Dutch oven was used by cowboys to make stews, 49ers (men who went to California looking for gold in the 1849 gold rush) to bake bread, and by soldiers in the US for cooking whatever they could get their hands on. Nowadays the dutch oven is used for many more uses for example: baking cakes, cooking chicken, baking pies, baking bread and much more
