Aboriginal gastronomy

Aboriginal gastronomy refers to the traditional food practices and culinary knowledge of Indigenous peoples, shaped by their deep connection to the land and environment. It includes hunting, fishing, gathering native plants, and cooking methods passed down through generations. These practices emphasize sustainability, seasonal availability, and respect for nature. Aboriginal gastronomy not only provides nourishment but also maintains cultural identity and stories. Modern engagement involves preserving traditional foods and integrating Indigenous ingredients and techniques into contemporary cuisine, fostering cultural appreciation and sustainable food systems.
