Next year marks 100 years of vegemite and, to celebrate, Penguin Books has announced the release of The VEGEMITE Cookbook: Favourite recipes that TASTE LIKE AUSTRALIA to be released in November.

From Bolognese, breakfast muffins and roast beef with Vegemite gravy, to fresh ways to include Vegemite in soups, salads and stir-fries, 6PR Breakfast listeners flooded the program with ways they use Vegemite in their daily lives.

Gastronomer Dr Jacqui Newling, an honorary associate in history at the University of Sydney, told Gareth Parker that Vegemite was first intended for use as a stock food.

"It was originally meant as a portable soup, an instant soup, or a flavour enhancer," she said.
