The Story behind `The Flavours of Buderim´ & ‘A Table in Buderim’

Friends of Buderim take great pleasure in presenting to you — ‘The Flavours of Buderim’ & ‘A Table in Buderim’. Following the success of ‘Buderim Bouquet’, Buderim’s earlier recipe book published in 1975, Friends of Buderim decided the time was right to publish a fresh, new Buderim cookbook.

Similar in concept to its predecessor, this new book has recipes contributed by local residents & have all been tested & sampled by Friends of Buderim & their families. Many recipes were submitted, with the final selection reflecting the influence of locally-grown produce, as well as the diversity of nationalities making up our multicultural community.

Since ‘Buderim Bouquet’ was published 25 years ago, eating habits have changed dramatically, as can be seen by the choice of recipes sent to Friends of Buderim. There is a strong emphasis on low fat, fast & easy to prepare foods, often with exotic influences from Europe & Asia.

Due to the popularity of The Flavours of Buderim, a sequel was produced. This companion cookbook ‘A Table in Buderim’ focuses on Buderim’s lifestyle – the casual way of life that comes with living in this subtropical part of South East Queensland. This 2nd cookbook is currently out of print & looks set to become a collector’s item!

Enjoy!
