I'm Jacqueline, been on EYB for about a year. I've been in AU for about 3 years, and plan to stay until I retire in another 6 or 8 years. I'm originally from VA.

Most of my cook books are American, and I occasionally run across recipes with ingredients that I just can't get here, especially since I live in the bush. On the flip side, I do find ingredients, especially produce, that are not widely available in the US so I enjoy figuring out how to cook with them.

Welcome to Oz! You can get nearly evrything your AMerican taste buds desire online.. USA Foods is an Australian online sales team (my daughter in law is also expat AMerican .. so I had to discover somehwere to get weird Thaksgiving requisites .. click the hyperlink to get to their site!

Thanks, debkellie! Yes, I found USA Foods - they carry my favorite pasta sauce :-).  

I guess the problem for me isn't so much that things aren't available in AU, but because I live in the bush in Central QLD, it's difficult to obtain them, especially refrigerated items. Last time I made a road trip to Brisbane (12 hours one way), I loaded up a couple of eskies of hard-to-find stuff on the return trip.
