Walnut Recipes

With the growth of the Australian nut industry, and as people become increasingly more health aware, the interest in nuts and nut products has never been greater. See the Walnut Health and Nutrition page for more information.

Of all nuts, walnuts have the richest and most distinctive flavour. Walnuts are one of the most popularly used nuts in food preparation. Although more commonly used in dessert dishes, cakes, loaves and biscuits, walnuts are also used as an addition to a range of other foods (eg the waldorf salad).

The Walnut Products page of this site identifies many of the forms in which walnuts are made available.

The list of recipe ides which include walnuts is endless. The following links identify some of the better walnut recipe websites.
